The Sufi song and quote by St. Therese made me think of this by Emily Dickinson:<br />Who has not found the heaven below <br />Will fail of it above. <br />God’s residence is next to mine, <br />His furniture is love.thesycamoretreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15182019323050600440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948441046758510841.post-44712151958809751322015-03-09T01:04:14.993-04:002015-03-09T01:04:14.993-04:00Oh, this is a lovely combination...sowing the seed...Oh, this is a lovely combination...sowing the seeds of peace. I'm singing as I write this, a Sufi song that sums this up for me, "My life is my prayer, as I live so I am". <br /><br />And one more comes to mind from the words of Sainte Therese of Lisieux, "I'm going to spend my Heaven doing good works on Earth."<br /><br />Really resonant pairing today!
