I begin the day
not in the noise of doing,
but in the silence of being.
A breath.
A remembrance.
That peace is not far off—
but within,
waiting like a hearth with gentle flame.
Here,
my grief can bow beside my gratitude.
My fatigue can lean against
the walls of mercy.
From this inner dwelling—
shaped by stillness,
carved by discipline,
warmed by God’s quiet love—
I face the world not alone,
but inhabited.
By peace the world cannot give.
And love the world cannot take.
🙏🕊🙏
The Beloved is the quiet presence within me. I do not need to search or speak—for in stillness, I am already near. The light of Divine Love does not come through striving, but through surrender to Allah’s mercy.
🙏🕊🙏
After 2,000 years, many are still waiting for the Kingdom of God to arrive from the outside. But what if the kingdom Jesus spoke of is already here—within us, waiting quietly to be recognized? These thoughts are shared not as answers, but as reflections… thinking out loud…
In Jesus’ words, “The Kingdom of God is within you.” It’s such a profound teaching, yet so many, even after 2000 years, continue to look outward, as if the kingdom is a distant place or a future event. The truth is, it is already here, in the present moment, within each of us, waiting to be recognized.
“nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.” Luke 17:21
In this verse, Jesus is responding to a question from the Pharisees about when the Kingdom of God will come. He answers by saying that it’s not something to be observed externally, but rather that it’s already present within those who believe.
It’s as though the external waiting reflects our inability to fully embrace what is already present—our reluctance to fully step into the fullness of our own being, the divine spark that resides within. The kingdom is not a far-off land to be found after death, nor is it a king to be crowned in a distant future. It’s a recognition, a shift in awareness.
Jesus, in his life and teachings, pointed again and again to this truth, yet even his followers continued to expect a king who would come in glory, overthrow empires, and bring physical peace. But the peace Jesus offered was internal—a peace that passes understanding, a peace that comes from being aligned with the divine within.
The kingdom is not about external events, but about the internal shift—a shift from seeking to knowing, from waiting to realizing, from longing to embodying.
Is it possible that we’re all waiting for an external kingdom, while the kingdom quietly resides in our hearts, patiently waiting for us to recognize it?
Yes?
🙏🕊🙏
Let’s just sit.
No commentary.
No effort.
Just being.
And let the Truth
reveal itself
like a smile
that was always there.
🕊🪷✨
