Anfang der weitergeleiteten Nachricht: Von: Inayatiyya &lt;astana(a)inayatiyya.org&gt; Betreff: Pir Zia's New Year’s Poem ⭐ Datum: 1. Januar 2026 um 11:14:38 MEZ An: Margarethe Hubauer &lt;hu.farmer(a)margarethe.de&gt; Antwort an: Inayatiyya &lt;astana(a)inayatiyya.org&gt; View this email in your browser <https://mailchi.mp/inayatiyya/pir-zias-new-years-poem?e=1ec59e2460> Dear Ones, My hope is that this message reaches all of you with a warm reception that equals the best intentions in which it was crafted. It goes without saying that 2025 was a busy year. And as we look forward to what lies ahead of all of us in 2026, we should expect it to be similarly active. That's a future that each of us should encourage, Beloved! I have been a part of this community for a short time now, but take solace in knowing that the Inayatiyya is full of life, energy, and reflection. At this new year's outset, please, please pause to express gratitude out loud for what you have been given, accomplished, and earned until this very moment. Even if you don't normally talk to God, just say "thank you" emphatically. May we all be grateful to the One who is Love every moment and everyday who has bestowed so much upon each of us. May we all be grateful to the One who has brought us through what is now behind us. And may we all be grateful to the One who is Time, is the Future, is Everlasting, the Absolute, and our collective goal. If you could, please take a few moments more to watch the video message by Pir Zia as he shares a poem with all of us, it encapsulates the sentiment beautifully. Let me close by saying that despite our personal rags or riches, all of us have something to be grateful for. Peace and blessings, MP <https://inayatiyya.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fd8625857899793849a6f66bc&id=9907ee9682&e=1ec59e2460> A carefree dervish roamed from place to place, Devoid of means, sustained by Heaven’s grace. The garments that he wore were merest rags, Nor did he own a thing, except three bags. Within the first he kept the daily bread Bestowed on him by kindly souls whose dread Of leaving mouths unfed impelled their hand To offer food or drink should any stand Before their door displaying honest need. Though gentle as a dandelion seed, Alas, the dervish did not always meet With kindness in the world; out on the street It wasn’t rare that rocks were thrown his way. When this occurred he wouldn’t run away, But would instead collect the hurled stones As if they were his very flesh and bones. He kept the stones within his second sack. Was he a lunatic, a maniac? The dervish might have seemed unorthodox, But it was wise of him to keep the rocks Because the flow of alms would sometimes halt, Compelling him to draw upon the salt He carried in the third of his three sacks, A mineral turning tables on attacks. The salt was something magical, you see, A substance made of heavenly esprit, And when he poured it on the chalky stones, The seraphs sang in sacerdotal tones, And instantly the bitter rocks became Delicious morsels cooked by mystic flame. He used it often; still it had no end, In fact there was enough to gift a friend, Who likewise passed on her excess so that The salt spread far and soon begat A tribe of salt-consuming dervish folk Who slept each night in peace, and when they woke Saw through the world’s illusory facade, For in their eyes there shone the light of God. Now as the New Year dawns, my friends, my wish For you, and for myself, is that the dish On which we dine, whatever it may be, May be enhanced with brine from Allah’s sea, An ocean neither of the West nor East, The salt of which makes even stones a feast.
