I walk the Sufi path and I write. That neatly explains the title of this blog. I have written a novel that takes you to places you must explore and then brings you back to ground with a mission to complete in just an hour. I also write non-fiction with my focus on the One, the Seen, and the Unseen. You will also find information here on all kinds of things that contribute to the well-being of the planet and the understanding of humankind as united in their destiny.

Longing for the Beloved

The Sufi writes words of longing for her Beloved but she’s not a poet for she knows that words cannot contain the One. It is the spaces between words into which she dives and drowns in the clear waters of love, and it is in the pauses where the vibrant silence of the Beloved’s Presence [...]

Shekinah and Sakinah: The Indwelling
