My Continued Search for God: Trouble Makers

If you have read some of my previous work, you will know that while I consider myself a spiritual person, I do not consider myself a religious person and am not so sure I believe in a God. I have read, studied, discussed and continue my "search for God." The first breakthrough was when I realized  that there could be a "spiritual god", up until then only thinking in terms of a "religious god." But that is a different story. Meanwhile I would like to share a number of "Love Poems from God" edited by Daniel Ladinsky 2002.Only a few of the poems spoke to me and I continue to contemplate them and document them here for you as well as for my future study.


By Rabia, the most popular and influential of female Islamic saints and a central figure in the Sufi tradition. (c717-801)


TROUBLE MAKERS


Since no one really knows anything about God,
those who think they do are just troublemakers.
