Bliss is the title of today's post. Each of us is searching for his own state of Bliss .
Sometimes it lies as close to us as our jugular vein ... it lies within our own heart ...it is that little piece of divinity that lies just under the surface of our consciousness .... we can only find it when we are still . THIS IS OUR ABSOLUTE TRUTH .
We are meant to let go of all cares and cast them all upon the Lord ... when we are afraid , ti is simply our rejection of what God wants for us . BE NOT AFRAID..face the future with LOVE HOPE and an understanding of the flourishing part of each souls' worth .
Each man's DESTINY is just the revealing of yourself into the character that God wanted you to be ... to thy ownself be true. ...thereby revealing the character of God as I behave . AMIN .

4th Safar 1437 ( Nov 16 2015)
As I head into this month of Safar , the constant reminder is that we are all human ...with faults and weaknesses. There is no room for GUILT over this . We must continually keep trying to do our best and then accept the resulting behaviour.
Allah is so merciful that HE knows us ..even before we react ...AND allows us HIS grace to accommodate us . Remember ALWAYS to accept ourselves, love those around us and do whatever we can to improve .
To acknowledge, be aware of one another , see past the superficial and dig deeply inside the heart ... then we can be more in tune as the MIND, BODY and SOUL can unite. Let us all also look outside ourselves to support our external world .
I must wish to be CONSTANT , FAITHFUL and OPEN to OBEDIENCE TO HIS WILL with whatever tools I have at my disposal . Then I can only repent when I feel that I was less at any time ... I am simply a HUMAN seeking my way .
ALWAYS written in gratitude for MY RABB and HIS plans for us. WORK for HIS pleasure .

Muharram passed and Safar starts 1437
Busy-ness has been the name of the days just passed ... New Year brought safety and gratitude for blessings given ... visit to Chicago for 5th birthday of Eden Hays , constant striving to regain balance here in Montreal , seeking life's work here as I move onward in my 70's . The main objective must always be a balancing of daily habits aimed at sowing seeds of authentic happiness , positivity , accepting and letting go when traumas arise . It is the awareness of and the knowledge that " this too shall pass" ... enables one to find solutions, serve those around me , love myself in charity and work to serve and please my Rabb . The obedience to HIM done thru my human weaknesses is all that I can hope to strive for ... sometimes I succeed and other times , this desire simply appears to leave me
flailing. All I can then do is repent and try again next time .
My belief tells me that my Rabb is understanding and very merciful to those who love HIM. Let us work towards the Hereafter with open and faithful hearts . HE has promised that if we sincerely try every day , then even when we become weakend, HE will carry us faithfully to our Hereafter. The key is to keep trying to stay even closer to Allah than we are today ...not seeking either the world or the Hereafter ...SEEK only HIM .
