Begin By Remembering

Published April 16, 2018 | By shirleytwofeathers

The Sufis often begin something new by breathing the Arabic word bismillah, which can be translated poetically:

We begin by remembering
the sound and feeling of the One Being,
the wellspring of love.

We affirm that the next thing we experience
shimmers with the light of the whole universe.

~Neil Douglas-Klotz

Sufi Wisdom
“Put down your glass, it is time to dance. If you want to get drunk all you need is to drink love. Put down your pipe and do away with these childish toys. If you want to get high all you need is to breathe love. Now, can I have this dance?” ― Kamand Kojouri
Be Merry
