By Way of Introduction

This site contains reflections of a simple man's spiritual journey and ongoing experience. Although the experiences described may sometimes sound lofty and exalted, I dismiss the implied finality of notions such as “enlightenment” or “awakening”, for my Experience has shown that it's unwise at best, and delusional at worst, to ever plant a flag and declare the summit. While there have been profoundly transmuting milestones along The Way, in my experience there is no finality, here in manifest existence, to an Endless Deepening of the Inner Radiance, an Endless Blossoming of Love and Compassion.

For me, at a ripe old age, it has come to this; that the measure of a human being is not in the commonly ascribed attributes of stature, but rather, the extent to which the lesser aspects of human nature have been subsumed by that Radiance, which is Fullness, Completion, Bliss, and Love.

These words will only touch your Soul
If your Heart is already Pregnant.

How will you know?

The baby will Kick.


From Farid ud-Din Attar:

The Sea will be the Sea,
Whatever the drops philosophy.

From Hafez:

The great religions are ships,
Poets, the life boats.
Every sane person I know,
Has jumped overboard.

From Ibn Arabi:

I profess the religion of Love.
Wherever its caravan turns along the way,
That is the belief, the faith I keep.

From Farid ud-Din Attar:

I know nothing.
I understand nothing.
I am unaware of Myself.
I am in Love,
But with whom I do not know.

From Rumi:

I do not know who I am.
I am in astounded, lucid confusion.
