Love & Wisdom. Knowledge & Attachment.

1. The Prism of Love

You cannot see

God and His Beloved,

Through any other prism,

Save of the Prism of Love.

There are many who claim this,

But they divide and they ostracize,

Then count themselves as wise.

They do not comprehend,

For when you are enamoured

With your own relationship

And attachment, even

With the Divinity,

Then, sadly,

Your wisdom

Is broken,

And your cup,

Empty.

..................

It is okay really. It is okay to be so enamoured with God and to find your cup of wisdom broken, and your wisdom slowly seeping into the earth like cold milk. After all, what do we really know except to love and hope that we are loved in return? I am tired of looking for the keys to the Library of Knowledge, and perhaps now I am only looking for the secret gate to the Garden of the Lovers. For you see, I know myself only too well. Give me too much knowledge and 'wisdom' and I am sure to neglect or even misuse it.

Throw Me a Rope

Let the wise ones look for wisdom.

I am looking for love and

To be taught the courtly manners

Of courtly love and chivalry.

If you are already there, throw me a rope...

In your kind friendship to me

Is my sweetest hope...

Have a lovely Friday, sunshine.

Hate has no place in Islam

Love will show the Way
