Musing upon several trails of thoughts, found a poem to echo my deepest convictions. quote: It happens all the time in heavenIt happens all the time in heaven, And some day It will begin to happen Again on earth - That men and women who are married, And men and men who are Lovers, And women and women Who give each other Light, Often will get down on their knees And while so tenderly Holding their lover's hand, With tears in their eyes, Will sincerely speak, saying, "My dear, How can I be more loving to you; How can I be more Kind?" --Hafiz
------------------ Ask Me anything. Anything. I will contrive to bring you the answer. The whole universe will I use to do this. So be on the lookout. This book is far from My only tool. You may ask a question, then put this book down. But watch. Listen. The words to the next song you hear. The information in the next article you read. The story line of the next movie you watch. The chance utterance of the next person you meet. Or the whisper of the next river, the next ocean, the next breeze that caresses your ear—all these devices are Mine; all these avenues are open to Me. I will speak to you if you will listen. I will come to you if you will invite Me. I will show you then that I have always been there. All ways. ♥ IP: Logged |

There is a Hafiz site where you contemplate a yearning question, ask and then a poem that contains your answer will be given in the poem. Sufi writings and poetry contain numerous levels of meaning depending on your level of understanding. A contemplation of your poem should be done to arrive at it`s reply. (I will try to find the site) ------------------ We need to listen to our own song, and share it with others, but not force it on them. Our songs are different. They should be in harmony with each other. ~ Mattie Stepanek

Found it The process is called "fal e Hafez", or the divination of Hafiz. http://www.hafizonlove.com/fal.htm

i tried it Dervish laid a trap with slight of hands and trick of the eyes With the help of this trickster merry-go-round mystifies. Tricks of his fate will keep the rabbit in his hat How can you trick those whom to secrets are wise? Come hither wine-bearer, the Sufi's beautiful lover Came with full grace, and evaded their many, many tries. O minstrel, with what tune was inspired to head for Iraq Longingly sang to return to the Arabian Hejaz? Come O heart, let's commend ourselves unto the Lord Keep from rolled up sleeve that outstretched arm belies. Undeceived, whoever lost himself in compassion In the Spirit of Love, his soul upward flies. In the court of the Truth, at the time of our demise Shame on he, who permissible never defies. Where to now, O proud partridge, halt and pause Your delusions, prayers of the pious cat, never ever identifies. Hafiz, mad Dervishes upon the path, don't criticize Freedom from false piety for eternity is our prize.

This is what I got when asking about the terrible depression I am in...~~~ I have said many a time, and I’ll say it once again Though I move upon this path, another my path maintain. Behind the veil parrot-like, I am trained and entertain I repeat what the Master has taught me and had me retain. If I am a thorn or rose, adorn the grass, it is vain To think I can grow without the nurturing hand and rain. O friends, do not think I am heartless and insane In search of a connoisseur, I am a gem of unique grain. Though wine with my colorful robe causes many pain I will not fault the elixir that washes every stain. The lovers’ laughter and cry many layers do contain At night I compose, and in the morn cry out my gain. Hafiz said, from breathing in dust of the tavern do refrain Fault me not, this is the way that this aroma I regain.
