we are now forever,
in one moment…
~ Paul Goldman, Journey Into Oneness
My place is in the Placeless, my trace in the Traceless;
I’m neither body nor soul, as I belong to the soul of the Beloved.
I have dispensed with duality, and seen the two worlds as One.
One I seek, One I know, One I see, One I call
He is the first, last, the outward and the inward,
I know none other than He, and He Who Is.
This Week’s Affirmation:

Beloved, I sought you
here and there,
asked for news of you
from all I met;
then saw you through myself
and found we were identical.
Now I blush to think I ever
searched for signs of you.
(Fakhruddin Iraqi, 13th cent. Sufi poet)
