		<description>This is a truly beautiful blog! I absolutely love your poetry, song page (Niyaz is awesome!!), views on Love and stuff about mysticism. Although I am Catholic, I deeply respect the Sufi mystics and I am fascinated by religion in general. I am a culture aficionada as well, my current area of interest being India and the Middle East. As a fellow poet and writer, I appreciate your creativity and I commend your beautiful blog layout!! :)

I know a lot of people on here have already commented on your painful situation, but let me say that I too am going through a similar process of healing – I’m still getting over the guy before my most recent disaster – and I know how hard it is. I empathize with you, I pray for you, and looking at your light-filled soul it gives me encouragement that great people do exist. I know that someone like you will find a wonderful girl who really deserves all the happiness you can give her. It is hard to go on sometimes, hard to force yourself to get up and live life. I have been stuck in depression for a long time now and I can honestly say that the only things that heal me are faith, time, and writing. It looks like you have had a very comparable journey to mine. Please feel free to visit my own “healing blog” (unfortunately it’s mainly poetry, although I am interested in much more than that) and I will certainly keep your blog bookmarked.

		<description>[...] Broken Mystic, who just turned twenty-four earlier in February [...happy birthday!], is a very articulate and intelligent person, a devout Muslim, and someone I respect for his views on spirituality and religion and his poetry. His responses to the verbal outbreak of &#8220;Islamaphobia&#8221; on Beliefnet are well-written and address the ignorance of those who would wrap the heinous crime committed by Mr. Hassan in a blanket of a religious attack on Islam.

		<description>Hi,

I found you&#039;re blog through Muslimah Media Watch. I just started reading it, and I like your post.  They&#039;re well written and you express your emotions quite beautifully. And you put alot of thought into your post.   But I guess you should expect that from a mystic.  :P</description>

		<description>I have found your blog through a search for miniature and ancient islamic paintings as im working on designing a historical book cover translated from Persian into Arabic .. 
the title is about Sultan Jalauddin Khawarezm Shah from the Khorezm or Khawarezm Estate .. back in the 11th century .. 
I am a painter and a book cover designer ... with many other passions .. 

anyway .. I was struck with the beauty of the painting as always .. though i&#039;ve seen many alike ... but i can never stop being amazed of our islamic art ... which i hope to specialize in when i start my art history studies .. 

im also struck with ... the beauty i&#039;ve sensed through ur sincere text-allow me to use the word text here- it really brought tears to my eyes ... and ur very interesting interests ... Film making! what a passion! 


i will surely follow your blog and do my best to .. 

well .. a friend of mine and i .. well actually .. some friends of mine .. hv great expectations for Islam and humanity ... we dream of a world where titles and labels never set borders and lines, never cause blood sheds and tears and hatred, crimes, where what matters the most is the one being where all descended..  i would love to communicate with you on such human level .. maybe we can add something to each other ...
simply we&#039;ve decided to be come the change we want to see in the world!


as for muslims, we seek a msulim-muslim conversation first before we try to go out and conversate with the world and defend our distorted image! .. 
yet i think it should go parallel with any civilization dialogues out there .. yet from a really knowledge and understanding of our selves ... &quot;To Thine Own Self Be True&quot;..  

The journey you strive to go on is within you .. that is the longest destination .. 

this blog of urs have stirred so many griefs, hopes,  fears and dreams of mine .. yet i must go back to my art and research ...  im pursuing a dream at the moment  .. :)

see you next... see you in heaven :)
