Do not strut proudly on account of your good deeds.
Do not let pride waylay you.
When you deem yourself holier than others,
know that you have fallen into grave error. "

Shaykh Abdul Qadir al- Jilani

they infuriate me Beloved
you know the one’s
those rigid, hateful ones
those blind leaders of the blind
those people whose priorities
cause them to choose wealth and power
over love
they neglect the elderly
and abandon the children
they are so proud, so judgmental!
I am so thankful that I am not
proud
and judgmental like
them
oooops
perhaps
when I think I am looking at them
I am looking in a mirror
and seeing myself
looking back
doppelgänger of piety
mea culpa
mea maxima culpa
