Save the Date – Plan to Attend the Feast for Peace

I am deeply honored and proud to be a member of the Seattle Peace Chorus whose mission is the use of choral music to promote peace and social and earth justice.

I wanted to extend this invitation to all of you, my dear friends, even though Wendy and I will be traveling to visit our daughter and will have to miss it ourselves. It will be a wonderful celebration and an opportunity to support this excellent cause.

Beautiful Poetry from our own Mansur Kreps

At our Sufi Saturday meeting this week, our honored elder Mansur blessed us with this lovely poem. With his permission, I share it with all of you.

Hu dat?

This is not my body.
Have I misplaced it?
These shoes do not fit!

This body no more belongs to me
than I belong to it.

I am as much influenced by
this body and
this mind and
these feelings and
this god-ideal
as they are influenced by me.

All are linked and serve together, with
support and suppleness in the mutual interactions.
We all dance.
In the dance I lose myself
And gain my Self.

Breath is the highway.

~ Mansur Rodney Kreps ~ 2020

Whidbey Zikr – Next Sunday

From Hassan:

February 9th
Monthly Whidbey Zikr Circle

Unity of Whidbey
5671 Crawford Rd, Langley, WA

6:00 p.m. Community Potluck
7:30 p.m. Zikr Allah
(360) 321 2001  (Lee Amin)

Beloveds,
The Whidbey Zikr Circle will take place, God-willing, Next Sunday, February 9th.   Hamid, Wakil, and Zarifah will be the posts.  Accompanying will be Krishnpriya on the keyboard and Khalid Ron Ward on drums.  

Sufis say insh’Allah a lot, meaning God willing.   God had some other plans in January and Amin wisely called off the circle for safety reasons.   We appreciate his sense of caution in caring for the community.  

I will be in Guatemala for the month of February.  insh’Allah, I will be back with you in March!

Much Love,
Hassan
