Our path as humans is to be like the sun, letting the light of consciousness shine on all living beings. We can call it kindfulness, and soulshine.
A flower or a sunset remind us of this unconditional love. We can rest in its beauty and it nourishes the soul.
Like all other talents, loving each other requires training, through relationships, friendships, conflicts and peace, we all know the cosmic drill :)
Darkness and light are simply different aspects of the gift of life.
I am very inspired by Martinus Cosmology, a spiritual and eternal world picture, and would like to share some advice that Martinus gave, from an article called "A question of tolerance":
1. Discard the concept of 'enemies' from your consciousness.
2. Never retort against anger, slander or other forms of
unpleasantness directed against you.
3. Never say anything evil about anyone or anything.
4. Be absolutely truthful and honest in all situations of life.
5. Be absolutely uninfluenced by flattery, praise and criticism.
6. Never take part in killing, wounding or mutilating.
7. Never let your thoughts deviate from being concerned how you best
can serve your fellow beings. In so doing you will practise the very
highest form of yoga or the most perfect training of that part of your
development which is within the scope of your will......
In case of interest, you will find some more info here: www.unitopia.eu/martinus.aspx

The flower is a wild Mezereon, Daphne mezereum, one of the first you see during early spring in Sweden. It is a small bush here, and has a lovely scent.
Thank you so much for your visits and kind comments.
Light & joy to you all!

GHAZAL 96
Is it a painful sigh of mine
Or the true being that you are?
Is this then the night of power
Or is it only your hair?
Is this the dawn or your face?
In the Thesaurus of Beauty
Is this an immortal ode?
Or is it only a floating couplet
Composed by your eyebrow?
Is this moment a useful tree
Or a cypress from the rose garden?
Is this the tree that bears dates in Paradise
Or your own slender and tender form?
Is it the musk carried by Chinese deer
Or the faint rose
of rosewater?
Is this the breath the rose breathes
Or the implications of your perfume?
Is this lightening that burns forests
Or a bonfire on Mt Sana`i?
Is it a painful sigh of mine
Or the true being that you are?
Is this some scent from Mongolia
Or is it ambergris with no defect?
Is this a single hair, curling,
Or your whole head of hair in braids?
Is this the dawn´s red wine
Or the magic that we call white?
Is this your eye rolling towards Heaven
Or the sorcerer´s glance that makes illusions?
Is this the Garden of Eden
Or a good garden on Earth?
Is this a Black Stone the saints
Loved, or an alley behind your house?
Praying, we all turn our face to a holy
Building made of mud and straw,
Hayati´s has a holy
Building turned towards your face
Is this the dawn´s red wine
Or the magic that we call white?
Is this the breath the rose breathes?
