from the sufis

Through singing, my skeptical mind has learned to be quiet and remain open to the prayer of song.

I learned this chant around the campfire at a Diamond Heart retreat at Asilomar, when our hearts and minds were full and clear.

I’ve almost worn this chant out, I’ve sang it so many times since then:

May my heart reflect thy light, Lord

As the moon reflects

the light of the sun

in love, always in love.

Hu Allah Allah Hu Allah Allah Hu Allah Allah Hu

This particular version was sung, to the moon, as a prayer for a friend who had recently died. She loved the ecstatic space of this song.
