Posting Froggy Postcards

Salam, Dear Friends of the Sufi Frogs! Mim, Nanan and Phil will frog with the Cartoonist on a sort of pilgrimage to California until the 4th of August.

It will be a sort of a much more spontaneous art, which could perhaps be termed as a Shaduli approach, and a break from their usual Naqshbandi carefully planned style. When back at home the postcards will be scanned and reposted for a better viewing, since while traveling they will post them through their cell phone, a smart froggy trick they learned from a prominent cartoonist they hope to meet at the Comic Con.

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.
