&#8216;At the beginning I was mistaken in four respects.  I concerned myself to remember God, to know Him, to love Him and to seek Him.  When I had come to the end, I saw that He had remembered me before I remembered Him, that His knowledge of me had preceded my knowledge [...]]]></description>

As I have struggled to grow towards wholeness, I have been struck by the idea of growth as travel.  I have found the metaphor of travelling both useful and suggestive.  Such a conception is useful because it feels indelibly human: wandering in search of something greater than ourselves seems to be an [...]]]></description>

&#8216;Mahabbat (love) is said to be derived from hibbat, which are seeds that fall to the earth in the desert.  The name hubb (love) was given to such desert seeds (hibb), because love is the source of life just as seeds are the origin of plants.  As, when the seeds are scattered [...]]]></description>

A teacher stands in debt to those he teaches, for the great honour they have done him in opening themselves.  And, as in all things, the honour of teaching is in fact a deep and sacred trust.  An honest student places their suddenly vulnerable selves into the teacher&#8217;s hands.  What greater sacrifice [...]]]></description>

Dancing Shadow
These poems are naught
but a dancing shadow of words.
So, if one dance displeases you,
do not be troubled overmuch.
Love&#8217;s rhythm is always moving,
for all symphonies fall into silence
when they cease to move,
and so it has always been.
This world is naught
but the interplay of light and shade,
so be not burdened by thoughts of [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s been a couple of weeks since I went to the Christian Muslim Forum conference in Leeds, and I&#8217;m now starting to work through the many interesting materials that I picked up whilst I was there.  As such, I wanted to start sharing that information with the wider world.
So, to get the [...]]]></description>

Your Own Hour of Need
Love resides in the heart of each human being,
so beware of your words,
lest you spurn love
as she passes by.
Love is the hand
that moves all things,
so do not break the sacred threads
that have been given into your care.
Break no hearts!
Lest love turn you away
from her door
in your own hour of [...]]]></description>

The Grandeur of Distant Hills
The grandeur of distant hills
fills me with quiet joy
as I travel into
the waking heart of morning.
They invite my eyes
and gladden my soul.
Beloved, the hills&#8217; wide breadth
is a certain cure for every vision of narrowness.
The miracle of sun, rain and clean air
falling upon this green fertile earth,
these things are [...]]]></description>
