You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.

From Desiderata by Max Ehrmann (1872-1962)

AULD LANG SYNE

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days o’ lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my jo,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

Robert Burns (1759 – 1796)

Kill me, my faithful friends, For in my being killed is my life.

Love is that you remain standing In front of your Beloved When you are stripped of all [...]]]> Kill me, my faithful friends! Great poem by Mansur Al-Hallaj about spiritual & merely human selves.

Kill me, my faithful friends,
For in my being killed is my life.

Love is that you remain standing
In front of your Beloved
When you are stripped of all your attributes;
Then His attributes become your qualities.

Between me and You, there is only me.
Take away the me, so only You remain.

Translated from Arabic by Andrew Harvey

Mansur Al-Hallaj (858 – 922)

Execution of Mansur Al-Hallaj

Let nothing upset you, let nothing startle you.

All things pass; God does not change.

Patience wins all it seeks.

Let nothing upset you,
let nothing startle you.

All things pass;
God does not change.

Patience wins
all it seeks.

Whoever has God
lacks nothing:

God alone
is enough.

Teresa of Ávila by François Gérard (1770−1837), a French painter
