Moment Stop

A  L  O  H  A !

" In the name of God, 

stop a moment, 

cease your work,

 look around you. "

                        Leo Tolstoy

" We are all dreaming 

of some magical rose garden

 over the horizon 

instead of enjoying the roses

 that are blooming outside 

our windows today. "

                                          Dale Carnegie

Final Word for Janus

A  L  O  H  A !

“A single word can brighten the face

of one who knows the value of words.

Ripened in silence, a single word

acquires a great energy for work.

War is cut short by a word,

and a word heals the wounds,

and there’s a word that changes

poison into butter

and honey.

Let a word mature inside yourself.

Withhold the unripened thought.

Come and understand 
the kind of word

that reduces money 
and riches to dust.

Know when to speak a word

and when not to speak at all.

A single word 
turns the universe of hell

into eight paradises.

Follow the Way. Don’t be fooled

by what you already know. Be watchful.

Reflect before you speak.

A foolish mouth can brand your soul.

. . . 

Only the word “I”

divides me from God.” 

                                                    Yunus Emre
