I am a Muslim.
My Mecca is a rose.
My mosque is a spring, my prayer stone the light.
Fields make my prayer rug.
I make ablution with the heartbeat of the windows.
Moonlight flows through my prayers, the spectrum too.
My Kaaba lies by the water,
My Kaaba lies under the acacias.
My Kaaba travels like the breeze,
From one garden to the next,
From one town to another
Salaamu Alaykum (Arabic for: Peace be unto you) So here's the deal, I FINALLY got onto the whole "blogging" phenomenon. Even though I still have MUCH to learn, I'm still testing the waters so to speak. So for now, I'm just posting random things that come to mind, or random things I'd like to share and maybe start writing, since I love to ramble, about most anything actually. So...for now, stay tuned, sit back, and enjoy this Goofy Sufi's utter randomness!!!
