Zikr Allah at Zawiyya al Mu'min, 1000 Urlin Ave., 2/27 at 7:30 pm

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let us fall in love again

and scatter gold dust all over the world.

Let us become a new spring

and feel the breeze drift in the heavens' scent.

Let us dress the earth in green,

and like the sap of a young tree

let the grace from within sustain us.

Let us carve gems out of our stony hearts

and let them light our path to Love.

The glance of Love is crystal clear

and we are blessed by its light.

-- Translation by Azima Melita Kolin
