The heart of a woman is  similar to a flower.It can very quickly develop a beautiful,loving fragrance.If we carefully pick it and carefully take in the fragrance, it will give us the perfume. But if we pluck it impatiently and crush it in our hands, it will give us the smell of a crushed flower. It will not give us the original fragrance. You must not crush the heart of the woman in your life. You must not crush it or squeeze it.We must touch it with care, pick it with care, and smell the fragrance with care. It is only then that it will benefit you. The heart of a woman is very delicate and tender.

     M.R.Bawa Muhaiyaddeen

Listening is an act of love. 

         A wise man once said that the greatest prayer we can offer is to do duty to and to  serve others ; even greater is to serve others with a ‘melting heart’. When we truly listen – this is indeed service and an act of love.

I don’t feel like

writing poetry

this morning.

My wife is ill;

It’s like 

I am too.

I don’t like it 

but this is the way

it should be.

Every pain ofour

fellow human being

Should be ours.

The cynic says, But

I’m separate; Why 

should I have her pain?

It’s not that I get

sick,It’s that my

heart understands her pain.

And with this open 

heart I am able to 

receive help and grace.

Without it,I am closed off;

My garden is covered with plastic

And the plants can’t grow.

 We have to think about it a bit, but if we do we and look carefully and deeply – we will find the truth- and that is that;   Everything we see(fault) in others we have inside our selves. It’s only when we are clear of the inner blemish that we will not find it in another.
