‘The Sufi’s book is not of ink and letters; it is nothing but a heart white as snow’ (Mevlana Rumi, Mathnawi II.159)
Peace, one and all…
Merely A Moment
This me that stands before you,
this collection of patterns,
is just a moment,
for I am merely life seeking understanding
of itself.
I am only a brief place,
a location passing and transient,
into which, for a time,
the Beloved has poured this Love.
In truth, my friend,
I do not even exist.
I am merely a moment,
seeking the wide realms of eternity.
(Abdur Rahman, May 22nd 2007)

Peace, one and all…
Some of the poets from Poetry Chaikhana, the excellent spiritual poetry website and forum, are going to hold a spiritual poetry blog carnival. Although most of the poems will be from members of the Tea House community, all are welcome to join in. The aim behind this move is to share the work of the many excellent writers there.
The deadline for the first edition is Friday 8th June (which will then be published on 9th June). At present, Abdur Rahman’s very own Corner will be the home for this carnival (if anyone else is interested in being a host, drop me a line). You can submit your posts here.
Ma’as salama,
Abdur Rahman
