I fought the impulse to close, to numb, or to seek some form of escape. Every day, over and over, I chose to see, to stay open, to remain open.”

“My Feather Weight Heart!
It wasn’t this way clean and lightweight before,
It all started when I met the spiritual surgeon after,
It was filled with jealousy, greed, lust, stinginess and envy before,
It got cleaned when I started to meditate on the name of beloved after,
It was all dark filled with all black spots before,
It got lighter when the name of God entered after,
It was filled with hate towards oneself and others before,
It’s now filled with love towards oneself and others after,
It was disconnected from the truth of reality,
It’s now connected with reality of truth after,
It was once ignorant and arrogant before,
It is now awakened and mindful after,
It was out of the side of the truth of oneself before,
It is now in truth with insights of oneself after,
It was oppressive, aggressive, and transgressive before,
It is now submissive, merciful and compassionate after,
It was racist, filled with malice and hateful before,
It is now united, filled with love and acceptance after,
It was searching for the truth outside in the mosque, church, synagogues and temples before,
It is now in awareness of the temple inside me after,
It was not aware of God, temple of God (heart) and the soul before,
It is now when I met beloved reviving my dead heart after!”

I’ll wear a gown of golden leaves, and bind my hair with grass, But you can be my forest love, and me your forest lass.”
