The Curl of the Beloved’s Hair
Posted by: Greenwoman2007 on: September 30, 2009
“Neither sober nor drunk, sometimes I feel the joy of my soul’s eyes looking out through mine.
Other times I feel the curl of the Beloved’s hair and my life wobbles and staggers.
Sometimes, the seasons of life turn and I find myself back on the compost heap.
And sometimes, when her glance finds me again, I am back in the Rose Garden.”
Shabistari

The state of mind which enables a man to do work of this kind is akin to that of the religious worshiper or the lover; the daily effort comes from no deliberate intention or program, but straight from the heart.

Shannee, I like this a lot, sometimes in Sufism, when they talk of drunkenness, they mean divine possession.
Love and warm hugs,
Paul.
