Desert Sufi Love

The Prayerie Dog's Poem came to an end, but in the meantime the preyerie frogs fell in love with the prayerie dog. May be because he is so turquoise, may be because he is a digger, may be because he knows the inner meaning of prayers...

Or may be are these frogs just liyng drunk in the Tavern, dreaming of Painted Deserts and Chocolatte Mountains that do not actually exist?

Who knows...but when it comes to Love, it is enough to imagine It, and Love becomes Real. Isn't the heartache real? Isn't the longing real?

The preyerie frogs, having tasted Love, slowly forget their preying, for all they wish is to pray again. So they invent froggionate, frogthetic, froggyful ways of calling the Prayerie Dog out of his many burrows.

Love is One, and while each sufi frog has a unique way to express it, all that they truly desire is the same: to be guided back to the Prayerie again.

Or. 3714, folio 395 b

The official reason by which they keep the original manuscript locked up is that Or. 3714 is one of the rarest items in the Persian collection and really does have to be guarded against overuse. But the truth is this: it has Frogs, inside. And these Frogs, as written in the Babur Nama, "though otherwise like others, run 6 or 7 yards on the face of the water". It is easy to assume that they are Sufi Frogs.

Vaqi'at-i Baburi

This is copy n° 680 of the printed edition of a manuscript of the Babur Nama, illustrated with outstanding miniatures. Printed in Samarkand (Uzbekistan) in 1969, it was bought by me [the cartoonist] in an antique shop in Kabul (Afghanistan) in 1975. The original manuscript, as I found out later, is kept in the United Kingdom, within a secret vault, well guarded by fierce Dragons.
