O Muses, O high genius, aid me now! O memory that engraved the things I saw, Here shall your worth be manifest to all!

“Build a House for men and birds.
Sit with them and play music.
For a day, for just one day,
talk about that which disturbs no one
and bring some peace,
my friend,
into your beautiful eyes.”

- Hafiz

"The Concourse of the Birds" -  by Habib Allah.

The hoopoe bird, center right, dictates to the other birds the way of the Sufi path.

Stardust

Stardust is
the hardest thing
to hold out for.
You must
make of yourself
a perfect plane—
something still
upon which something settles—
something like
sugar grains on
something like
metal, but with
none of the chill.
It’s hard to explain.

— Kay Ryan

I've been looking for a long, long time,

for this thing called love,

I’ve ridden comets across the sky,

and I’ve looked below and above.

Then one day I looked inside myself,

and this is what I found,

A golden sun residing there,

beaming forth God’s light and sound.

 

~ Rumi

Vidám szép derűs napokat kivánok, minden kedves Tagoknak

Never give up thinking: It is possible

Never say again: I will never

Always remember the good actions

The good thoughts

Good hearts beats everywhere

What is good?

For example, when vengeance no longer exist in our mind...

LoThree verbs that are well combined,
are light bulbs in our way -
"Learning", "Serve" and "cooperate."
♥ Three attitudes require much attention -
"Analyze", "Fail" and "complain."
♥ Give three rules of conduct never regretted -
"Helping" with the intention of good, "Silence" and "Opinions"
phrases of kindness and encouragement.
♥ Three guidelines will keep us invariably in the right direction -
"Helping without distinction", "Forget all evil" and "always work".
♥ Three positions should avoid in all circumstances -
"Curse", "order" and "Destroy".
♥ We have three values,
once lost, can never be recovered -
"The time that passes," "Opportunity" and "spoken word".
♥ Three sublime programs unfold before us,
revealing to us the glory of the Higher Life -
"Love," "Humility" and "Good" spirit. "
♥ May the Lord help us, because, in our necessities,
always follow the three rules of blessed salvation -
"Fix in us what we dislike in others."
"We support each other."
"Loving one another"e and Peace for you and all Beings
