"Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same". Helen Keller
If the heart is the sweetheart,
Then which one is the heart If the sweetheart is the heart Then what is the name of the heart. I see the heart and the sweetheart blended I don’t know which one is the heart or the sweetheart. Baba Tahir

The Price of Wine
Love’s fire, for a lifetime, burned my heart and soul
until the Beloved taught me the way of the lover.
Love’s jealousy gave me no chance to cry out;
it sewed my lips to keep me from speaking.
Like a moth, out of passion I circled Him so much
that He burned like the candle, kindling me for every assembly.
He stored me for years in the heart of time
so that in this age I could amplify the whisperings of Love.
I am a slave of the master of the holy fire;
from myself He bought me.
Then sold me for the price of the tavern’s wine.
Nurbakhsh, with the breath of the Beloved,
drunkenly said,
“Love’s fire, for a lifetime,
burned my heart and soul.”
Read at the funeral of Nur Ali Shah, Dr Javad Nurbakhsh

Coffee shop serves Sufism with every cup (San Francisco Chronicle)
At the Sufi Coffee Shop in Mountain View, half-pound batches of coffee
beans are roasted daily, and each cup of coffee is individually ground and
dripped to order. Approximately 16 kinds of coffee are available at a time, and
might include Jamaican Blue Mountain, Kona, Puerto Rican, Bali Shinzan,
Ethiopian, Zimbabwe, aged Sumatra, Costa Rican, Yemen and the shop's own blend,
Marmmooz.
Yet patrons leave with more than just a cup of joe -- those who choose
to engage can become intellectually and spiritually enriched.
"The process of transforming the green solid into a refined cup of coffee
is the same process that happens to human beings from being coarse to becoming
refined human beings," said Sufi Coffee Shop owner Parviz Rasti.

Freestyle Coffee Tip, Do's and Don'ts:
"Great coffee is the result of roasting very small amount at a time and dripping it as soon as it is ground. Roasted whole bean coffee loses its enzymes and flavor after in about one week. Coffee should be drunk as soon as it’s made, as like any other food that cannot be eaten long after it is cooked. Coffee stays fresh and drinkable (good for you) only 15 minutes after it is brewed.
"Never drink already brewed coffee, even if kept in a thermos. Thermos coffee is bad for you and makes you jittery because it’s old and has only caffeine. The enzymes that are the cancer-fighting agents die out in about 10-15 minutes. Always buy freshly roasted coffee from roasters who roast half a pound to a pound of coffee at a time. In bulk roasting, the quality of coffee and roast is undermined. Never buy more than a half a pound of freshly roasted coffee from any roasters."
