424 WAYS TO FIND YOUR LOVER

2011

The ghazal is a type of poetry which, at its most sublime, expresses the nuances of the life of the spirit. Western writers have begun to experiment and explore the ghazal form, inspired by the great poets of the east. But the relationship of the lover and the divine beloved has a unique flavor in the west, marked by the challenges, triumphs, joys and travails of everyday life. We can meet these lessons from our own egos, or embrace and learn them with an open heart. When we do the latter, the result is a ghazal. This book contains 424 ghazals sprouted from the fabric of my life. Each is an encounter, of sorts, with the divine beloved, the divine lover. Each one aims at being an expression of perfect self-honesty in the moment – the surest way to attract the divine lover of One’s Soul. In that sense, these are my “424 ways”. And an invitation to you to discover your own.
