This rug sits in my home.
Every night, before bed, I find myself brushing that rug off; as if brushing the worries of another days struggle, from the shoulders of a nation.
What is it about this rug?
It's not extraordinarily beautiful, and I am not extraordinarily concerned with an immaculate, nor spotless dwelling.
Clean, and neat, for sure, but immaculate?
No, there always must have been something more.
Tonight, as I knelt, and the smell of vanilla and amber and ginger root spice and tribal coconuts and love culminated in the nexus of the room, it was like a Sattvic moment...
...so full of wisdom, and promise.
Black, and Brown, and Caramel, and many other tones of your beautiful skin, child;
this rug has always been all of those things, but, today, especially.
Yes, that's it;
I kneel and clean this rug, not for its sake; not for my sake; but for You.
Why shouldn't I care enough to prepare a clear and inviting welcome for my Belov'ed.
That we might, likewise, endeavor to provide a clean and pure path for/with each other, in all aspects of our lives.
It can ne'r be a symbol of your company, but, a symbol of the Hope, certainly...
..blessed, in flow, together, like Arches over Marrakesh.
I cherish the bonds, the knowledge reflected, the wisdom shared, the understandings gained.
The inspiring music, the intricate hand shakes that make us look like Street Masons, building a stairwell to Higher Ground;
the laugher, the sounds;
the rhythms of our nature;
powerful, like, sunlight; too complex and recondite to commit to paper;
yet, so simple; the joy of a pleasant visit, demonstrates how,
Such, is the nature of Tao;
our immortal Love of Divine within -- Al-lah (All Law),
Or so it seems...
As I have re-discovered Devotion, here, on my knees...
How perfect, I'd almost wish you were here,
to share an experience, such as that, so phenomenal...
Yet, still(ed), in your ab-sense, good friend... I honor You.
Even notice the time... P.M..... 11 : 33...
True Self, Eternally.
Peace,
