to return Home

to the Name

to the Silence

to our Love 

We received mandatory evacuation orders yesterday and had to be off the island by 7pm eastern. I picked the kids up from school, and we quickly threw stuff in stuff and loaded it up, before driving smooth across the state through green pastures and towards calmer waters (and my sister, Syl). I write this from a bed in a cute airbnb in Lake Worth, Florida, the same one I booked last year for the same reason. It's becoming something like a tradition. Gia gets to spend her 13th birthday NOT in school (school is closed for the next couple of days), and Max is playing by the pool. Mom is sipping coffee. And I'm recording, writing, editing, Loving... You.

All signs point Home.

They point Here.

No matter where Here appears to be,

you can relax... more.

p.s. How do you 'treat' a hurricane spiritually? Many would say, 'it isn't there', or, 'it's an illusion'. But you have to take it a step further. The ocean isn't either, or earth, or you, or me. Only Love is here. And all of this is done in Silence, as Silence.

"Bawa Muhatyaddeen: Yes. I am very old in years. My teacher would not be dwelling within the world. At any moment, in any eventuality that it is needed, the appropriate reply will be given, whenever I ask. It would be very, very difficult for everyone to obtain such a teacher as this. One must have the benevolence of God to receive this. As for my speaking, I cannot speak. The one who wishes to speak must be the one who speaks. If it is wished to speak of God, then it is God who must speak. If it is wished to speak of the prophets, it is the prophets themselves who must speak. If it is Gabriel (A.S.) who must be spoken of, then it is Gabriel (A.S.), himself, who must speak. And if they do speak, we must have the wisdom to understand what they say. If Jesus (A.S.) is to be spoken of, it is Jesus (A.S.) who must speak; if it is Moses (A.S.) who is spoken of, it is Moses (A.S.) who must come and speak. Then if there is any fault in what is said, if there is any mistake, then the fault relates to them. Also if there is any gain in it, it is theirs. ...It all relates to them. It is their responsibility. If the Prophet Muhammad (Sal.) is to be spoken of, it is he, himself, who must speak. Whether it be Adam, Noah, David, or Abraham, peace be upon them all, they themselves must come and speak.

Each one, whoever it be, must come and speak of himself. The words come like sound passing through a microphone. I have nothing to do with it; I am nothing. This is the way each of them speaks and tells his story. I do not want the praise or the blame.

We must complete the duty that we have come to perform. This is the way. If you do it like this, it is correct.

"God will not give you a message.  For God to give u a message,.,God has to be far away from you.  God is closer than your breath.  How can he give you a message? -Gurudev H.H.SriSri Ravi Shankar

"The source of all comfort, is silence. The source of all discomfort, is a single thought." -Pat Nolan

"The eternal father spoke only one word and he spoke it in an eternal silence. And that isn't silent; we hear it." - Father Keating

"It is the Divine Presence that gives value to life. This Presence is the source of all peace, all joy, all security. Find this Presence in yourself and all your difficulties will disappear." - Mirra Alfassa

"You may have everything that the world can offer, but if you don't have peace, serenity, silence, ecstasy, you will still remain poor." -Osho

"Apart from Love, everything passes away.

The way to heaven is in your heart.

Open and lift the wings of Love!

When Love's wings are strong, you need no ladder."

-Rumi @shams of tabrez
