Embark on a profound journey of self-discovery and spiritual transformation as we delve into the enchanting world of one of my favorite original poems.

In this video, we explore the desert as a metaphor for the life journey, where the wind (or "breath of God") shapes the dunes, and seekers traverse the vast expanse of their being in search of meaning. Through thought-provoking analysis and interpretation, we unravel the layers of this spiritual poem, inviting you to immerse yourself in its rich symbolism and profound teachings.

Discover how the ruins we encounter in our lives can become stepping stones towards enlightenment, as we rebuild ourselves with each grain of sand. Experience the joy and depth of connection that comes from being touched by the divine presence and surrendering to the "wings of love."

Join me on this transformative odyssey, where the wind carries us beyond despair and the grains of sand whisper profound truths to our souls. Through stunning visuals, insightful analysis, and the power of poetry, I invite you to explore the realms of spirituality, self-discovery, and the beauty of embracing life's ruins.

Don't miss this opportunity to connect with your inner seeker and be inspired by the timeless wisdom contained within the poem.

And take a moment to subscribe now to join our community of seekers on a journey of self-reflection, spiritual growth, and the unveiling of profound wisdom.

Only the wind—
only the wind
can shape the desert…
one grain at a time.

I have lost myself
in these dunes;
building and building,
but all
in ruins.

Ruin me, O Shaper of sand!

That this heap
may be shaped again
into the trail
of seekers.

Let them
tread on top my ruins,
and in their love for You,
become ruined.

For this endless desert
we call our dear life
is only here to reveal
what you concealed in the night.

Carry me, my sweet Wind—
carry me anywhere.
Only on your wings of Love…
does this grain escape despair.
