St. Anthony

You, the one how helps to find the lost, thank you for the miracle.
Please help us keep what was now found.

You keep sleeping.

I'll keep dreaming.

In my secret life

I saw you this morning.
You were moving so fast.
Can't seem to loosen my grip
On the past.
And I miss you so much.
Theres no one in sight.
And we're still making love
In my secret life.

I smile when I'm angry.
I cheat and I lie.
I do what I have to do
To get by.
But I know what is wrong,
And I know what is right.
And I'd die for the truth
In my secret life.

Hold on, hold on, my brother.
My sister, hold on tight.
I finally got my orders.
I'll be marching through the morning,
Marching through the night,
Moving cross the borders
Of my secret life.

Looked through the paper.
Makes you want to cry.
Nobody cares if the people
Live or die.
And the dealer wants you thinking
That it's either black or white.
Thank God it's not that simple
In my secret life.

I bite my lip.
I buy what I'm told:
From the latest hit,
To the wisdom of old.
But I'm always alone.
And my heart is like ice.
And it's crowded and cold
In my secret life.

- Leonard Cohen

The lesson of the trees

"We can learn a lot from trees: they're always grounded but never stop reaching heavenward."

Eternity and a day

And then she said:

"I am a Queen. I am the Queen of my Kingdom.
And my Kingdom is full of joy and sorrow.
There is Sun and there is Rain.
There is the Wind and the Sea.
There are the birds singing in the Secret Garden,
and the Wisdom Flowers blooming in the Springtime.
And there is the white Winter silence and there is also the overwhelming burn of the Summer. There is Silence and there is Word.
There are Thoughts and Ideas.
Ther is the Smile...and also the Tear.
And if you wish to join me, for a Lifetime or just for a month, you will be welcomed, my King."

for Eternity...or for a Day

What Am I ?

I am neither Christian, nor Jew, nor Gabr, nor Moslem.
I am not of the East, nor of the West, nor of the land, nor of the sea;
I am not of Nature's mint, nor of the circling' heavens.
I am not of earth, nor of water, nor of air, nor of fire;
I am not of the spheres, nor of the dust, nor of existence, nor of entity.
I am not of India, nor of China, nor of Romania, nor of Arabia
I am not of the this world, nor of the next, nor of Paradise, nor of Hell
I am not of Adam, nor of Eve, nor of Eden and Rizwan.
My place is the Placeless, my trace is the Traceless ;
'Tis neither body nor soul, for I belong to the soul of the Beloved.

I have put duality away, I have seen that the two worlds are one;
One I seek, One I know, One I see, One I call.
He is the first, He is the last, He is the outward, He is the inward;
I know none other except 'Ya Hu' and 'Ya man Hu.'
I am intoxicated with Love's cup, the two worlds have passed out of my ken;
I have no business save carouse and revelry.
If once in my life I spent a moment without thee,
From that time and from that hour I repent of my life.
If once in this world I win a moment with thee,
I will trample on both worlds, I will dance in triumph for ever.
O Shamsi Tabriz, I am so drunken in this world,
That except of drunkenness and revelry I have no tale to tell."

- Rumi (Love is a Stranger; Divan-e)

I wish...

...I could understand the language of the birds...
