I Beg You Forgive Me



In honor of those who serve us in silence
---------------------------------------------



O Dearest Souls
How am I to listen?
What am I to do?
To pull my self from my own ignorance,
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooh


How am I to listen?
When the calls come in
How am I to see?
When the signs are so clear
How am I to shut my limited self?
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooh


How am I? How am I? How am I?
How am I to wake up?
How am I to open my eyes?
How am I to shed my illusions?
How am I? How am I? How am I?
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooh


O Dearest Souls
You who breath to serve me
I beg of you to forgive me
I beg of you to forgive my rude self
How am I to shed my anguish?
How am I to cure myself?
For I am so ignorant!
How am I? How am I? How am I?
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh


How am I to ever honor your grace?
How am I to match your giving?
How am I? How am I? How am I?


Here I am, so self centered
So busy with I want, I want, and I want more
There you are a complete stranger
I have not ever met
Giving me a piece of your precious life!
How am I to match such a sacred gift?
How am I? How am I? How am I?



O Dearest Souls
I beg of you to accept my gratitude
I beg of you to forgive my poor attitude



Every morning I wake up it is you I need to thank
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, for ever and there after.

Come


May the Network of Love grow, expand, and shine,

Through the linking of the souls, One heart throbbing at a time,

May your heart awaken,

May your heart take a sip of the elixir of love,
May you taste the glory,
May you Burn in adoration,
May you be annihilated,

If you make it this far we shall fly in the skies with the angels and go beyond,

If you dare to come this far you are I and I am you an irradiating bundle of Joy!

Who cares for the bickering, arguing, fighting, or even human reasoning?

Forget those; they are only a temporary excuse for the most scared of Love,

Don't be shy my Beloved,

Come, Come, Come, Come and Come again,

No matter how afraid you are,

No matter how many times you fall,

Come to the vast oceans of my adoration,

Dive into the seas of my passion,

O Beloved one!

I am drunk with you!

Hold me it is our time to be lovers!

A special 4th of July


I long hesitated to become a citizen of another country,

I long hesitated to accept another choice,

I long hesitated to consider another option,

I long hesitated to choose though eligible to ask,

It took me four years to decide,

It took me that long to apply,

I waited until I knew exactly why,

I wanted to be an American citizen,

It was not enough to do it for the logic,

I needed my inner peace with reason,

Last year on a hot day in summer,

As I was vacationing in the lands of my ancestors,

When I was able and ready to hear,

The answer came to me loud and clear,

"Liberty of consciousness is alive and well in America, Now!"

Since then, it has been smooth, beautiful, and easy,

I was granted my US citizenship in the most wonderful ceremony,

I pledged allegiance to the flag Of the United States of America,

From the bottom of my heart I meant every word I said,

I cried tears of joy for the whole time the festivities lasted,

I am thankful to have another choice, I am grateful to the American people,

For accepting me and allowing me to be one of them when I was ready,

I now have two citizenships,

The one I was born with,

My Moroccan identity which I cherish,

The one I choose to embrace,

My American identity which I hold precious,

This fourth of July, 2006, has a special meaning,

It has a unique fragrance and a special taste,

This is the first of time ever in my whole life,

I am celebrating the 4th of July, As an American Moroccan Citizen,

Full of gratitude I stand with a joyful heart I salute the American flag,

And I am singing the The Star-Spangled Banner.
