I've had to sit on this one for a bit and I find myself coming back to it repeatedly, 107:

"Sacred signs everywhere, yourself among them"

@EgyptianAphorist I needed this one right now:

"The precious few times I've peered into my crystal ball, I could make out the letters T.R.U.S.T."

Those who speak
badly of life
do not realize—
they only smear
their own names.

My #Palestinian grandmother, Rabiha Dajani, is from Bethleham; a school was named after her in Hebron (al Khalil) on land she donated to build the school on.

She was a prominent #school #teacher & #social #activist

Here's a #picture of her collecting donations for the revolutionaries, #Jerusalem , 1938.

Her husband, my grandfather whom I was named after, #YahiaLababidi was a celebrated #musician , #poet & national treasure, I'm proud to say.

It is possible to subsist,
almost entirely,
on a diet of honey & wine
—also known as:
#poetry & #mysticism.

#quote #poetry #psychology #spirituality #yahialababidi

We scramble the first half of our lives
to assemble a self—
and, in the second half,
if we are wise,
to dismantle it.

“Lababidi is extremely generous with his attention in this eclectic collection of essays, interviews, poems, and aphorisms, covering everything from Omar Sharif to Sufi mysticism.

In Revolutions, Lababidi converses with readers about that rarest & purest expression of the human spirit: the creative mind at work.”

—James Geary, author of Wit’s End

we are more likely

First, saints are brown
like everything around
then blue, from trying
the art of dying
At last, they're lavender
the color of surrender.

Said a poem to a poet:

Can I trust you?
Is your heart pure
to carry me ?

Are your hands clean
to pass me on?

‘Ultimately, what the #artist as #mystic can offer the world is vision, beyond the material world, by reminding us of what is Indestructible, timeless & unchangeable.

#yahialababidi helps us realize that amid the maddening chaos of the world, there lies an oasis of calm & serenity available to all. ‘
