NGONGE Posted July 1, 2011 The Drifters sang: When this old world starts getting me down And people are just too much for me to face I climb way up to the top of the stairs And all my cares just drift right into space On the roof, it's peaceful as can be And there the world below can't bother me Whilst Oasis said: Here's a thought for every man who tries to understand What is in his hands (what's in his hands) He walks along the open road of love and life Surviving if he can (surviving if he can) Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say Chained to all the places that he never wished to stay But The Beatles did it best when they sang: I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in and stops my mind from wandering where it will go I'm filling the cracks that ran though the door and kept my mind from wandering where it will go And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong I'm right where I belong I'm right where I belong See the people standing there who disagree and never win and wonder why they don't get in my door I'm painting my room in a colorful way, and when my mind is wandering there I will go And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong I'm right where I belong I'm right where I belong Silly people run around they worry me and never ask me why they don't get past my door I'm taking my time for a number of things that weren't important yesterday and I still go…… On average, a normal person would sleep for eight hours a day. During those eight hours he’ll be cut off from the rest of the world and happily float around in the land of dreams (or nightmares). On average, a normal person would visit the toilet three times a day; during those times he’ll be cut off from the rest of the world and absentmindedly drift in thought while the deed is being done. On average, a normal person would stamp his feet and walk away from an argument at least once a month. The purpose of storming out would be to seek some peace and quiet (in other words, be alone). Poets look for time out from the crowd to think up and compose new poems. Singers do it to write or rehearse their songs. Actors do it to memorise their lines. Students revise and learn. Inventors do it to hone their inventions. Haroon Al Rashid’s sister wrote a memorable poem about the solitude that lovers seek. It went like this: I concealed the name of my lover from creation And went over their name in my heart Oh how I long for an empty valley So that I can keep calling it out loud! Sufis talk of Khalwa (solitude). Newton did most of his great work when he spent months in the country to avoid the plague that was ravaging the English cities. Even Hitler built himself the Eagles Nest! It seems that everyone is looking for some solitude but the world is far too small for all of us to have our own space and the distractions are endless. So, in order for me to sit about and freely think of nothing at all, I humbly say to you all....IGA DURKA DEE! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nuune Posted July 1, 2011 lol@khalweyn, Ilaah amarkii, maybe waa coincident, laakin xalay I spent 6 hours on khalwo session, wallaahi saan u khalweenayey ayaan Salaadii Subax ku gaarey, the only sound I could hear was coming from my stomach, cuz I had dinner for different kinds of mxture of food(muufo, macsaro, cambuulo, macsaro, soor iyo caano, all in one plate), laakin the end result was good. On minimum, I do khalweyn 8 times a week, that like 20 hours set a side for only khalweyn, it is what makes me go smooth and take everything as it is, 20 hours is like a part time job, with no salary. Nabi Muuseba Arbaciina yawman ayuu duurka ku maqnaa oo uu khalweyn jirey. iga durug saaxiiboow, dadkiina kalena, ha ii soo dhawaanina bil fadlakum, iftiin baan arkaa, cirkaa laga soo dagey, al yawmu lii, wa naxnu masaakiin, thumma la tus'alunna yawma'ithin cani naciim.

Taleexi Posted July 1, 2011 The Invitation by Oriah mountain dreamer It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love for your dream for the adventure of being alive. It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon... I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain mine or your own without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy mine or your own if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful to be realistic to remember the limitations of being human. It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy. I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence. I want to know if you can live with failure yours and mine and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes.” It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children. It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back. It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
