Sophia's Mirror

Contemporary Mysticism through Art, Writing and Poetry

Welcome

My photo
Emma
The words in my header speak of Sophia’s Mirror as reflecting all creation, as being the source of all things. My weblog is about the discoveries which can be made when we look into this mirror, and the encounters through art, writing and poetry which allow us to glimpse the oneness behind the many forms reflected there. What I believe in and practice is not a process which ends, but a process which transforms. And it is my heartfelt wish that you, my readers, will continue to be a part of that transforming process with me. Thank you for stopping by.

In Your Light

In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest, where no one sees you. But sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.
– Rumi

To You, My Reader

To You, My Reader
Whether you are a return or a first-time visitor: I am aware that my posts over the last months have been rather sporadic, and have at times included writings by others. This has to do with personal health issues which have had to be coped with, and this in turn has meant that I have had to address new and unfamiliar limitations regarding how much I can do and what I can manage. I nevertheless will continue to post what and when I am able to. My thanks to my readers for their understanding, and my wish is that all my visitors will still find something of interest in my previous posts. ~ Emma

The Sanctuary of Emptiness

The Sanctuary of Emptiness
"Look" says the Spirit, "the new world has arrived. The landscape is changing around you."

Amen

Amen
We traditionally end a prayer with the word 'Amen'. But what does this simple word mean and where did it originally come from?

This One Love

The memories of all loves merging with this one love of ours. And the songs of every poet past and forever.
- Rabindranath Tagore

The Lovers

The Lovers
For love has no need of masks and acceptance is all and everything.

The Homecoming

The Homecoming
That is the longing: to live in the waves
and have no home in time.

Sophia - The Breath of Life

Sophia - The Breath of Life
To approach Sophia is to approach that vital spark of the divine within ourselves, for Sophia is the essential spirit which infuses all things.

The Church of Love

The Church of Love
The church of love has no secret, has neither mystery nor initiation except for the deep knowledge of the power of love, as the world must change, if we as persons wish it so; but only if firstly we change ourselves.

Spirit of the Valley

Spirit of the Valley
The valley spirit never dies Call it the mystery, the woman. The mystery, the Door of the Woman, is the root of earth and heaven.

In Ourselves

In Ourselves
But this one thing becomes more clear to me: that you can't help us, but we need to help you and by doing that we also help ourselves. And this is the only thing that we can save now and also the only thing that matters: a piece of you in ourselves, God.
Etty Hillesum

The Paradoxes of Love

The Paradoxes of Love
The storming of love is what is sweetest within her, Her deepest abyss is her most beautiful form,

The Radiance of God

The Radiance of God
Woman is the radiance of God, she is not your beloved. She is the Creator - you could say that she is not created.
Rumi (Masnavi, I:2437)

The Eyesight of the Soul

The Eyesight of the Soul
To serve love in new seasons would be new indeed – that noble art few will embrace: few feel they should find out what true love can impart.

Dance

Dance
“Dance, when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood.
Dance when you're perfectly free.”
~ Rumi

Gaia

Gaia
I will sing of well-founded Gaia, Mother of All, eldest of all beings. She feeds all creatures that are in the world, all that go upon the goodly land, and all that are in the paths of the sea, and all that fly: all these are fed of her store.
- Homeric Hymn, 7th Century B.C.

No Limitation

When we are face to face with truth, the point of view of Krishna, Buddha, Christ, or any other Prophet, is the same. When we look at life from the top of the mountain, there is no limitation; there is the same immensity.
~ Hazrat Inayat Khan
