Have yourself a Merry little Christmas . . .

You are truly a wonderful spiritual balsam on the soul, Servant of Christ!

Alex,

Thank you for being an icon of the One Who is the Light unto our feet as we walk together on this pilgrimage!

You hold a special place in my heart, my friend.
Pray for this poor needy sinner.

Your personal desire is in my prayer especially at this time when God came among us as a Child to teach us that He has chosen to put His work into our hands. A blessed Preparation and Incarnation celebration be yours.

Steve
JOY!

Dan,

I don't know if one can ever say "I am a Sufi." Maybe, "I am trying to be a Sufi," is more accurate.

But I am a "listener" within Rumi's Order, which means I am at the bottom of the ladder, where I belong.

But I would prefer to believe that I am just a simple Muslim who just happens to be a Sufi. Sufi will always be, for me, just an adjective.

Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.

Abdur
