Perspective

Leaves look glitter at the rain come
Single drop of water falling down
Later another drop come again but from another leaf
Birds always fly among the trees and didn’t care about the rain
Butterfly flying happily
See the green leaves on the tree,
Leaves always moving when the wind blow
Breeze make leaves move with gentle
See open sky, we see everything gray
Seeing water on the misty mirror and the other side not wet
Everything move without end and return with another form
Nature always changes
Grateful for the rain and receive the rain completely.
Listen song of the wind
Our heart listen beautiful rhythm
We just listen and never forget it
Heart always pure whenever everything come
Another position maybe look better than we have
Seeing at the top of mountain, everything look beauty
People live in the mountain maybe didn’t see
They must climb to the top to see everything
Sometime everything look bad and become worse
Sometime we have many problems can not be solved
Sometime we sad because lost something
Sometime we hate for someone
Sometime we feel sad because our hope not fulfilled
We just change our point of view,
All problems disappear for themselves.
We see beautiful things that we always forget
If we see so near we didn’t see another view
The door not only one, there’s many doors,
We must know and believe
Problems still there but we didn’t bother anymore
We are not try to find the answer the question,
Because the problem not from right or wrong answer
The problem come from the question itself

_____Suspicion by Chuang Tzu
Once a man found that his axe was missing,
and suspected his neighbor’s son of having taken it.
Observing the youth walking around,
the man was convinced that his was the walk of a thief.
The youth looked like a thief.
The youth looked like a thief and talked like a thief;
everything he did pointed to his having stolen the axe.
Then one day the man happened to find his missing axe.
After that he noticed his neighbor’s son
wasn’t behaving like a thief anymore ______

Acceptance

Let the air that we breathe fill our heart
Enjoy all tenderness and subtle feeling
Open our heart to see and don’t depend with eyes only
Keep believing and always ponder with full of our heart
Everything is perfect, already perfect and good and there’s no defect
The world is full of beautiful things and sometimes we don’t see
Let the air fill our heart again
Feel our body like the air that we breathe
See unity of all the things
All come from the One and return to the One
Ceaseless arising and nothing hinder them
Let them fly where they pleased spread their wings
Reach and touch empty sky and we don’t see anymore
Sometimes we see and think they return
Look them again, they are different, and let them fly again
There’s nothing that we afraid, just accept them
Look their empty appearance
We still on the boat, and sea always bring us to the sea again
There’s flying fish come out from water without our anticipation
Spontaneous and uncontrived, there’s no cause for their appearance
Sometime we refuse our pain and search the pleasure
But sometimes again, after we reach it, we want search another one
Pain and pleasure like two face from one coin
We can not run from our shadow
Just receive our shadow, and shadow become nothing
All the things come from within ourselves is ourselves
Accept them and we make ourselves complete
Reject them and we make ourselves broken into many pieces
Like a host, always treat guests with good manner
Just give smile with honest heart
Let them come in or out from our home
We know who we are and our position
Don’t feel discourage and tired
We just come to ourselves again, we are here
We’re not going anywhere
We always be here before we think and do something
All thought and things maybe distracted us
Still we are here and return to ourselves again easily
We can not see the wind but we can see the wind blowing something
If we try more patient to see, we can see their manifestation
All the doors will open to us
We see same things like never see before
Bright and perfect

A Dog & Prostitute

QUOTE
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "A prostitute was forgiven by Allah,
because, passing by a panting dog near a well and seeing that the dog was
about to die of thirst, she took off her shoe, and tying it with her head-cover
she drew out some water for it. So, Allah forgave her because of that."
Bukhari: Volume 4, Book 54, Number 538

COMMENT
(Another comment are welcome,this is my humble interpretation)
We must have feeling compassion to all living being,not human only,
but for animal too, even a dog. Sometimes we think dogs are animal that
we avoid and didn't like to touch or help them.
Don't feel or think our sin is not be forgiven by Allah.Like prostitute in this story,
she has still have right going to heaven,because she only give water to dog.
It's amazing ,only simple good deed with honest heart,Allah forgave her
because Allah compassion and always give mercy to human being and
Allah decision always good and always right.
Simple good deeds and honest when doing something and then Allah will always
give the best one to us later.We try to help,everything near us,
maybe we only simple man and we are not politician or rich man,
we can help everything near us as honest that we can,
and we know Allah always give the best to us,even simple good deds that we do.
Allah compassion to human is unlimited,we are human being have many weakness
and don't think we are going alone to heaven because our prayer/fasting etc only.
Allah know everything in our heart and Allah always most powerful,we can not doing
something without Allah give help to us and give strength to us.
At the end I quote, another story that related about simple good act
and hones heart to a dog
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "A man felt very thirsty while he was on
the way, there he came across a well. He went down the well, quenched his thirst
and came out. Meanwhile he saw a dog panting and licking mud because of
excessive thirst. He said to himself, "This dog is suffering from thirst as I did."
So, he went down the well again and filled his shoe with water and watered it.
Allah thanked him for that deed and forgave him. The people said,
"O Allah's Apostle! Is there a reward for us in serving the animals?"
He replied: "Yes, there is a reward for serving any animate (living being)."
Bukhari: Volume 3, Book 43, Number 646:


__________“Allah does not judge according to your bodies
and appearance but He scans your hearts and
looks into your deeds"
Prophet Muhammad S.A.W___________

You'll Never Walk Alone by Gerry and The Pacemakers (Song Lyric) Share

When you walk through a storm hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of the storm is a golden sky
And the sweet, silver song of a lark.

Walk on through the wind, walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone.
You'll never walk alone.

Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone, you'll never walk alone

Near

When the rain comes, fill your heart with rain
Receive and always open as usually
Listen pulsation of everything and their nearness to you
Touch something like touch everything
Feel your fingertips when you pick up a cup cold tea
When your feet touch the floor and you know the floor is cold
See and feel near things carefully and completely
Black ants are run to the dark place to hide
Search dust at the corner of the wall
The dark night become bright
The trees reflect light from lamps
Water on the leaves look bright and glitter
There’s still dark shade but the other side is bright
Alone to see the rain and feel gratitude being special
Seeing from distance, we only see open space
Rain always make tree bow happily
There are always glitter things when the rains come
Seeing everything is good and grateful within our heart
We are perfectly here, silent and feel free
Forget everything and leave as they are
Raindrops touch our hand and our face
Cold in the body but refreshing to our mind
Listening sound of the rain
Rainbow in our heart like in the sky
Beauty and always there and vanish for itself
Here again, we see brown smooth table and blue chair
Seeing the wall painted with white
Shadow within our heart as if nothing
Empty everything and everything is changing
Look within, happy to be alone
Be free is being alone but not lonely
Receive everything and complete surrender
Listen our heartbeat and feel our body
Look and feel completely
Be happy, always return to yourself again
No matter how far they go
They should return to you again
Feel again see the uneasiness completely
Look them again, return to be near you
Be here totally, don’t loose you sight,
Aware and always back in home again
No matter clouds appear, always see with clear eye
Don’t try to change and you become free

Seeing #2

See everything around us
We only see green grass that limited by the sky
Give smile to everything
See the pond at silence place and we feel serenity
We feel beauty of the things if we see at distance
Everything near to us is hidden precious too
Seeing too close make us be blind
We didn’t see although our eyes open
Giving smile to someone
It’s wonderful to feel this simple act
It’s precious things that we have
Birds usually be there, but now they are not there anymore
We are not longing
If there’s no birds, we can see the trees
Appear or not, we didn’t search to see
We see everything that appear to us only
Everything is changing
We open for everything
Our heart like mirror
Images always change but mirror always clear
So many images appear but mirror is taintless
We feel cold wind in the rain
Hear people still talk about something
Sending the air from their mouths
Like echo, we don’t understand what they say
Do they understand each others?
The road is long and we always grateful
We can see the trees beside the road
Still and if we see again, there’s green grass
The tree on the hill ,only small tree
Standing alone there
See the rain with happiness within
See emptiness everything
Close our eyes and feel it
Open our eyes and feel it
Be alone and happy with emptiness
Everything and everyone become special
They are our friend now
Everyday they give greeting to us
Keep shining and keep smiling
There’s sun in the rainy day
Sun in our heart always bright

Clean - Story about Abu Yazid and a dog

One day Abu Yazid was proceeding along the way
when presently a dog ran alongside of him. Abu Yazid drew in his skirt.
“If I am dry,” said the dog, “no damage has been done.
If I am wet, seven waters and earths will make peace between us.
But if you draw your skirt to yourself like a Pharisee, you will not become clean,
not though you bathe in seven oceans.”
“You are unclean outwardly,” commented Abu Yazid. “I am inwardly unclean.
Come, let us work together, that through our united efforts we may both become clean.”
“You are not fit to travel with me and be my partner,” the dog replied
“For I am rejected of all men,whereas you are accepted of men.
Whoever encounters me throws a stone at me; whoever encounters you
greets you as King of the Gnostics. I never store up a single bone for the morrow;
you have a whole barrel of wheat for the morrow.”
“I am not fit to travel along with a dog,” said Abu Yazid.
“How then shall I travel along with the Eternal and Everlasting One?
Glory be to that God, who educates the best of creatures
by means of the least of creatures!”
Abu Yazid continued, “A sadness invaded me,
and I despaired of being an obedient servant of God……..
