Occupy Faith

C ome, come, whoever you are.

Wanderer, worshipper, lover of living, it doesn’t matter

Ours is not a caravan of despair.

Come even if you have broken your vow a thousand times,

Come, yet again, come, come.

 

As quoted in Rumi and His Sufi Path of Love 

There is a community of the spirit

Join it, and feel the delight

of walking in the noisy street,

and being the noise.

 

“A Community of the Spirit”
