The Road Not Taken
2009-12-05 10:10:00
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth;Then took the other, as just as fairAnd having perhaps the better claim,Because it was grassy and wanted wear;Though as for that, the passing thereHad worn them really about the same,And both that morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden blackOh, I kept the first for another day!Yet knowing how way leads on to way,I doubted if I should ever come back.I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:two roads diverged in a wood, and I --I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.
She

Every night she dreams the same,Haunted by a Shadow again and again,Captured and lost in a giant mace,There is no way to flee...She begs not to fall asleep,And she prays to God to set her free,She is so afraid to see,The shadow she fears is "SHE".......

Forever Gone

You left me not too long agoand yet it seems like forever...I reminisce the day you left all this timebecause I was right there beside you...I can't seem to get over the feelings I had,at that very moment I felt so alone...It grew cold in the roomthat I lost all feelings and sense...All I had was pure silence and disbelief,I saw people moving towards you all around meand yet I couldn't move a step towards you.I couldn't distinguish my emotionsbecause I wasn't sure of them...I felt soo much anger and sadness, but I couldn't cry...At that moment I wasn't sure what was wrong.And now a year & a half later it all comes back to meEvery tear I held in falls, and now I can't seem to stop...I've realized how much I missed you...and how much I've needed you herebut there is no way for me to reach ou

Time Long Past
2009-09-18 10:42:00
Like the ghost of a dear friend deadIs Time long past.A tone which is now forever fled,A hope which is now forever past,A love so sweet it could not last,Was Time long past.There were sweet dreams in the nightOf Time long past:And, was it sadness or delight,Each day a shadow onward castWhich made us wish it yet might last,That Time long past.There is regret, almost remorse,For Time long past.'Tis like a child's belovèd corseA father watches, till at lastBeauty is like remembrance, castFrom Time long past.(Percy Bysshe Shelley)
Love??
2009-09-17 08:42:00
In terms of mature relationships and love, most of the times, people fail to distinguish between the true meaning of love and lust...Every Cinderella longs to find her Prince Charming and live happily ever after. We all want to fall in love. Why? Because that experience makes us feel completely alive. Our emotions get magnified, senses get heightened, and we are flying in seventh heaven. It may only last a moment, an hour, a day, but that doesn't diminish its value....But are you sure it’s love that we are talking about?Why do independent, smart women become emotional wrecks after a romantic break-up? Why do older men gravitate towards younger women? Could it be estrogen and testosterone hormones that addict us to our lovers? In terms of mature relationships and love, most of the times,
Accepted Repentance
2009-09-12 11:46:00
We have all had the experience of failing time after time in changing old habits. Then suddenly these old habits lose their hold on us. What was so attractive suddenly becomes unattractive. This is a sign that God has accepted our repentance.At this point, my sheikh used to say that we are no longer responsible for those old sins. We have truly changed and we are now someone who is not even tempted to commit them.(Robert Frager, Heart, Self & Soul, The Sufi Psychology of Growth, Balance and Harmony p. 71)
Love Of God

When you seek love, by grace of GodYour spirit turn into wine and your body into a jar.When He increases the wine of His grace, the jar falls into piecesEvery knowledgeable knows without thinking,That where there is disturbance, there is a Disturber....(Rumi)
