Another day of spiritual connecting with all of nature! The people – the paradise – the peacocks!! I marvel that you are one of the only few in Florida to offer Dances for Universal Peace.
How special for us!  Tina

Praise be to Thee, Most Supreme God,
Omnipotent, Omnipresent, All-Pervading, the Only Being.
Take us in Thy Parental arms. Raise us from the denseness of the Earth!
Thy beauty do we worship, To Thee do we give willing surrender.
Most Merciful & Compassionate God,
The Idealized Lord of the whole humanity,
Thee only do we worship, & toward Thee alone we aspire!
Open our hearts toward Thy Beauty, Illuminate our souls with Divine Light.
O Thou the Perfection of Love, Harmony & Beauty!
All-powerful Creator, Sustainer, Judge, & Forgiver of our shortcomings,
Lord God of the East & of the West,
Of the worlds above & below, of the seen & unseen beings,
Pour upon us Thy Love & Thy Light!
Give sustenance to our bodies, hearts, & souls,
Use us for the purpose that Thy Wisdom chooseth,
& guide us on the path of Thy Own Goodness!
Draw us closer to Thee every moment of our Life,
until in us be reflected Thy Grace, Thy Glory,
Thy Wisdom, Thy Joy & Thy Peace!   Amin
“Ways of worshipping are not to be ranked
as better or worse than one another … 
It’s all praise, and it’s all right.
” Rumi
If you are interested in knowing more about the Sufi Master who brought Universal Sufism to the west from India in 1910, you might enjoy reading Inayat Khan through the Eyes of his Students, 
available on Amazon, as much as I did
. The author, Wali van der Zwan, is a Dutch writer & musician on the Sufi path, who serves as a senior teacher in the Ruhaniat. He has been to  Dancing Peacock Paradise to lead a retreat with his wife Arienne.

“True praise
comes from the heart
& uplifts the spirit.”


“Praise is the light
that illuminates the path
of the soul.”
