~ Ray Bradbury

Le Nez
Damn! I cannot find my DQ Lab Chumma Draw book.
But it WILL be found and an entry will be made!
< I RESERVE this space >
stop and smell the flowers
A lovely poem i found on a blog
We fail to notice
Things around us
Things, we take for granted
Cause we know
It will be
Tomorrow and the day next
Flowers for instance,
Grow quietly,
Unknowingly,
Spreading its warmth and joy to everyone and anyone
But do we once
Stop and smell the flowers
No instead
We pluck them,
We tramp them,
We throw them,
And we walk passed them
Never do we praise its beauty,
Selflessly,
And lovingly.
That’s because we are too absorbed
In our very own machine-like lives, that
We refuse to notice anything but ourselves!
So I plead to you now,
Stop and smell the flowers
Before it’s too late!

281_Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Today's word is Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
"To be a qawwal is more than being a performer, more than being an artist. One must be willing to release one's mind and soul from one's body to achieve ecstasy through music. Qawwali is enlightenment itself."
"To be a qawwal is more than being a performer, more than being an artist. One must be willing to release one's mind and soul from one's body to achieve ecstasy through music. Qawwali is enlightenment itself."
"Sufi music tries to banish the hatred living within all human beings. It
does not belong to any one culture, but to all of us. It stands for
bhaichara. The great Sufis have said that there is no value in namaz if
your soul is not clean, no value of bathing in the Ganga, if your
thoughts are impure. God is to be achieved through love. Mohabbat (love)
is the ultimate reality."
~ Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
