The Secret
except ye become as little children…
Oh man, Possessing all to be happy
Why do you despair?
Cursing fate that brought you here
Fists shaking in the air
----
With access to all perfect health
Why in sickness is your faith?
Physician, you could heal yourself
By letting go of angst
----
With all abundance in your view
why in poverty do you remain?
The supply is great enough for all
If only you lay claim
----
When all are one in Sonship
Why is our impulse to divide?
Pushing out those we see as other
putting them on the other side
----
When our true nature is of peace
Why must we take to war?
Pitting brother against brother
a game without a winning score
----
The secret to this life my friend
Spoke by Jesus long ago
Be as little children, my sons
pure and innocent as the snow
----
See only the good in others
Keep only love in sight
Blessings and mercy will follow you
Sure as the day will follow night

Inshallah
Istanbul is a city bristling with life, a place where past and present, sacred and profane, intertwine under the watchful gaze of the Sultan Ahmet Mosque. As I explore this crossroads of cultures with Maya, my nine-year-old niece and the daughter of my late brother-in-law Frank, and my wife Nadia, Frank's sister, I find myself on a journey not just through Istanbul's history, but also into the depths of my own beliefs. Staying with Maya and her mother Elvan, my sister-in-law, I begin to see the city anew through their eyes, and to understand why James Baldwin said it "revived" him.
