The Tetragrammaton is irreversible.
I cannot see the light.
To force the Holy into action.
To bring His presence
back into Creation.
I know your name.
But you are not your

It is the change
that time cannot deny.
It is the dream
that you never forget.
It is the Shaman
with no regrets.

The way of the Sufi is to embrace the joy of the essence of God in everything, and every aspect of everything. The best times and the worst times. Rumi expresses this supreme joy:
I am a lover of both His benevolence and severity!
Amazing it is that I’m in love with these opposites!

This was originally published at The Entropy Report, back in May of 2008. I bring it to the forefront with great pleasure. If you’d like to see the original, click here.

Sometimes I feel like my life is so full of stories, my stories, and the stories of others. So full that I cannot pick just one to write. My brain floods, and sometimes part of a story floats to the top. Then it pours down through my fingers in waves that translate [...]
