O thou lamp who are enkindled with the fire of the Love of God!
Verily, I read thy recent letter which showed thy strong love,
Thy being ablaze with the fire of the love thy Lord,
The Mighty, the Praised, and the penetration of the Spirit of Truth

The fire, the fire, the fire of the love of thy Lord. 
The Mighty, the Praised, and the penetration of the Spirit… 
… of Truth.

Broken Winged Bird - Denzil (ISGP QLD Dec 2016)

Siule! Siule! Bahá'u'lláh

Efoha

An excerpt from The Seven and Four Valleys - The Valley of Knowledge. 
Cited by Bahá'u'lláh in The Valley of Knowledge (oringinally in Qur'an). 

THESE ARE NOT MY WORDS - JUST MY MUSIC:

''Split the atoms heart, and lo! 
Within it thou wilt find a sun.''

The Valley of Knowledge

"Move Me" is a song to the Beloved~ it is a heart's yearning to be drawn closer by the Beloved, to be immersed in the ocean of Love and Beauty, Servitude and, ultimately, Sacrifice. To hear what is meant to be heard, to speak what is meant to be spoken, to live in a way that is in harmony with the Will of the Beloved~ to enter the Ridvan Garden. 

Move Me
