Zikr Allah Friday April 3, 7pm

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

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 and Maryam Mafi

Let us become a new spring, let the grace from within sustain us.
