Atoms’ KaBa

“And We have created above you seven paths, and We are never unmindful of creation”. ~23:17 Qur’an

“And wherever you turn there is the Presence of Hu, for Hu is all pervading, All Knowing.” 2:115  ~Qura’n

“The whole earth is a place of worship” ~prophet Muhammad (saw).

Description: I worked on the painting “Atoms’ KaBa” by intervals for months, it was indeed a journey whose dimensionlessness lingers with me still. I first wrote the poem of the same title and the painting came out of it, slowly. “Atoms’ KaBa” evokes the process of evolution that leads toward the sacredness of all that is, in a context of pure Light, being the very quintessence of everything seen and unseen. “Atoms’ KaBa” is an invitation to turn inward, to embrace the pilgrimage we all are subjected to through the breath as it flows from and back to The Divine. We are signs of Tahwid, the Unity that governs existence, the Reality that mystics have expressed for eons and which is starting to be acknowledged by quantum physics as the “unified field”. Every atom is a sacred space, whose forces emanate from the Divine Consciousness itself; this places great responsibility on us to awaken to our connectedness with the Cosmos and thus to transcend the conditioning imposed to us by external sources. In such station of consciousness, there no longer is such a thing as separation, no projection of anything being “outside” of ourselves. In this, lies the importance to live in reverence, gentleness and love so we can inwardly retrace the Way to the ultimate Treasure within.

Atoms’ KaBa

We gather within you

wave after wave to pull you

and your seven spheres

toward the frequency of Tahwid.

To know oneself is to know Us

beyond the spatial realm,

man is the temple of the Opening

we continuously erect

through the breath,

the sign of Love itself!

The state of being is sacred,

love around infinite Love,

you curl around the Pulse

within or without

it does not matter

for the lover only sees one!

You are a fullness of empty space

praising The Divine.

Know that the KaBa by excellence

dwells in each of your atoms

so revolve my love and

retrace your immanent Source.
