My Testimonials

February 18, 2008
i would like to take moment
in time
to acknowledge that the love
of this torrid wind
is the same love
that blows
and blows
and stirs the cosmos
I can feel it from here
it's wind beneath wings
that helps to soar the aspirations
of others

i acknowledge and appreciate
your love and affection for me

CHANGE is up to you...

be all you can be...

God-realisation, or "siddhi" means Self-discovery in the highest sense of the term. One consciously realises his/her oneness with God. As long as the seeker remains in ignorance, s/he will feel that God is somebody else who has infinite Power.

the path of the Sufi

The Sufi sees the truth in every religion.

If invited to offer prayers in a church, a mosque, a synagogue, or a temple, the Sufi is ready to do so, knowing that all people worship the same God, the Only Being, no matter what Name they use. Yet the Sufi's true house of worship is the human heart, in which the Divine Beloved lives. Sufism is a religion for those who wish to learn religion from it, a philosophy for those wanting wisdom from it, a mystical path for any who would be guided by it to the unfoldment of the Soul, and yet it is beyond all these things. It is the Light of Life, which is the sustenance of every soul.

The principal teaching of Sufism is that the heart of man is the shrine of God, to recognize God in one's own heart, to feel His existence, presence, virtue, goodness, all manner of beauty. It must be remembered that the whole life around us is a life of falsehood. The more you see and experience the more you see how very false it is, how much disillusionment there is. The only way of getting over it is to light the lamp in the darkness of night, and all will be cleared. The secret of life is this: to produce beauty in ourselves. When beauty is produced in the heart, then all that breaks the heart vanishes and the whole universe becomes one single vision of the sublimity of God. ~~~ Hazrat Inayat Khan

prayer is not asking...

"Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart." - Mahatma Mohandas Gandhi (1869-1948)

likes and dislikes...

I LIKE: the many paths of Self-discovery... movies (all genres except musicals, westerns and animated)... cold wind.... slow kisses...the scenery of the white lines on the highway at night... waking up with an erection.... men that come into my life and stay... air-conditioning... long talks... CLARITY... lyrical prose... sexual and/or romantic involvement without the drama of dysfunctional attachment.... someone's hand on my leg while I'm driving... starry nights... the open sky... laughing out loud... loyalty...and looking at younger guys (smile).


I DISLIKE: WHEN PEOPLE INTERRUPT ME WHEN I'M TALKING... the fact that I often do not understand others, but need to accept them as they are... hot, humid weather...kissing guys who open their mouths like fish out of water when kissing... when a brother I'm dating isn't able or willing to articulate (preferably voluntarily) what he's thinking, what he's feeling and what he wants with lucidity... tight holes...uncircumcised dicks (sorry, was that too much information? Tough!)... hairy bodies... the vast majority of things that come on television.... sports... sweating without exertion... unstructured social activities... fickle men... tobacco smoke... having to get up in the morning... not having money...WAITING!!!


How about you?
