No dhikr in May, going to Ozark Sufi Camp

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

i told you don't sit around
with unhappy folks
don't seek the company of any
but those delicious and sweet
when you're in a garden
make your way
around the thorns
seek the company
of narcissus and jasmine
every flower and more

--Translation by Nader Khalili

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

There will not be a dhikr held at Zawiyya al Mu'min in May,
I will be at the Spring Sufi Camp in Missouri.
Insha'allah, June dhikr will be on June 25, mark your calendars
