The Window of the Soul




This is my yellow orchids that hasbeen given to me three years ago and it has never failed to make me smile and in giving me hope during times when I feel sad, when I miss my family in my homeland, when I feel tired or when I feel like I cannot pray.


"The Window of the Soul

During prayer I often turn to God
and recall the meaning of the words of the Tradition,
“the delight felt in the ritual prayer.”
The window of the soul opens,
and from the purity of the unseen world,
the book of God comes to me directly.
The book, the rain of divine grace, and the light
are falling into my house through a window
from my real and original source.
The house without a window is hell;
To make a window is the essence of real religion.
Don’t thrust your ax upon every thicket.
Come, use your ax to cut open a window.
MATHNAWI III,2401-05"

About Me

My Photo
Name: isay

In my dream, I am dreaming like a dreamer.... everything is all about you and me and the world we live in. It is not a perfect world and it's very difficult most of the time, but we manage to reach out, even see and experience things positively most of the time. Life passes us by so quickly, and every chance we get-we try harder to make it work- because life is beautiful and so were YOU and I.
