I Was Passionate

I have read this poem by Lalla Ded many months ago, while at work:


I was passionate,
filled with longing,
I searched
far and wide.
But the day
that the Truthful One
found me,
I was at home.

This is the first time I  have encountered Lalla Ded. For more information about her you may check out this URL:  http://www.poetseers.org/spiritual_and_devotional_poets/sufi/lalla/





I wished I have shared this sooner. The message of the poem is beautiful beyond words. Probably the poet speaks of her Shiva. But nevertheless it makes me wonder when do I get found by my Truthful One.  Hmmm  :)
