O my Lord, the stars glitter
Rabia (Rabi'a Al-'Adawiyya)
(717 - 801)
O my
Lord,
the stars glitter
and the eyes of men are closed.
Kings
have locked their doors
and each lover is alone with his love.
Here, I
am alone with you.
That is Orion... I am sure
you know that . Somewhere in the middle is the belt going down diagonally... and
a little to the left is the sword...
If you have ever camped out in
the open countryside I am sure you would have enjoyed seeing this at night there
too....
Camp nights were always
beautiful. Even more so when there was no moon and the skies were starry clear
and radiant.
In the rush of our daily living perhaps we do not make a little
time for the stars....
Or a little time to be alone with the Lord either....
Wishing you and your family more alone time with the stars
and with your Lord...
Let me say it again......
O my
Lord,
the stars glitter
and the eyes of men are closed.
Kings
have locked their doors
and each lover is alone with his love.
Here, I
am alone with you.
Take care.
Love, Terence
