Sufi Quote
Remember it is the heart and not the body, which strives to draw near to God. By heart I do not mean the flesh perceived by the senses, but that secret thing which is sometimes expressed by spirit, and sometimes by soul.
Truth
does truth
have a period of time
during which it is true
and false after that?
or
does truth adjust itself
to the person in whose mind
it sits?
no…
… truth is one
and doesn’t change
‘forever’
regardless of
whether you
are there
or not
Politics...
1. As predicted, the sham show of US problems with Israel is what it is - a sham show!
Veto at UN by US proves it.
2. President Trump is wrong in his fight with Elon Musk. I'm with Musk, despite him being a racist.
3. Coco Gauff wins the French Open!
Wonderful news!!!

Book Review:
Book Title: Short Poems, Long Tales
Reviewer: Timea Tokes
5.0 out of 5 stars A hidden gem
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 15, 2021
It's rare to find poetry that speaks so much to the heart, yet it is filled with enough sarcasm to help us see things from a different point of view.
I found these poems full of emotion, both happy and sad, and occasionally controversial. I liked how diverse the collection was, and many of these poems are real eye openers.
I think my favourite was Sad in Hell and Fun not Funny. However, they all point out important and mostly ignored issues. I can only recommend for fans of thought-provoking poetry.
