I choose these 33 words from one of my favorite books, Conversations with God (Book 1), by Neale Donald Walsch.
“The point of life is not to get anywhere – it is to notice that you are, and have always been, already there. You are, always and forever, in the moment of pure creation.”
* Written for the Trifextra Challenge.
The theme for this week’s photo challenge is Illumination. I rummaged through my latest photo albums looking for photos and oddly enough the only pics I could come up with are either of Las Vegas or the holiday season.
Las Vegas is the city that comes alive at night and rightly labeled as the city that never sleeps. Even when you enter the casinos during broad daylight you’d be startled by the razzmatazz.
Here are few of them:
I know the holiday season is already over and it makes no sense to post pics of the neighborhood homes all decked up but just playing along with the theme for this week. :-)
I look at you
An emotion overpowers me
And in the moment
I let myself be
My Being is defined
Around You
To you, I owe
Everything there is and could be
And yet in the cacophony
I hear nothing
The sleep eludes me
The time betrays me
I put my faith
And it erodes me
And in the moment
I let myself be
You are the Creator
The Master
My strong believer
And yet in your eyes
I don’t see me
You are my quintessential necessity
But in the hour of need
You ignore me
Still, I look up to you
And feel complete
My emotions overwhelm me
You are to me
What they’ll ever be
A reason to trust
But be just
A reason to thrive
But survive
And in that moment
I let myself be

Some of my favorite Rumi quotes.
“In the orchard and rose garden
I see your face
In the taste of Sweetness
I feel your kiss
In the shadows of passion
I am embraced by your love.”
“My soul is from elsewhere, I’m sure of that, and I intend to end up there.”
“If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished.”
“When I am with you we stay up all night
When you’re not here, I cannot go to sleep
Thank God for these two insomnias
and the difference between them.”
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.”
