Makan Makeen,

There is a place where love, trust and humility,

Fuse in meaning,

Suffuse each other,

Reflect one another, 

And manifest in the other.

Makan Makeen,

The safe, love nurturing and nurtured place,

The cocreated womb where life and the conditions for life in concrescence bloom each other.

The place where all have a place,

Where every thought and feeling matters, 

Where silence is also heard,

We recognise our beauty in each other’s mirror.

A place of deep human connection,

Trust is watered by love,

Love blossoms with trust,

Humility is the nourishing humus where we grow in understanding.

A place of joyful playfulness,

Intuition is trusted,

Humility knows,

Imagination flows.

Vulnerability tenderly embraces itself,

Dissonances become friends,

We…

The Astrolabe,

When our navigation becomes the navigated my dear friend,

The wind will blow our love woven sails,

And love will blow the wind that fills our destiny,

The ocean will be a home called “our humanity”,

And our astrolabe will have moving coordinates,

Each reflecting our growing understanding of what it means to trust our humanity,

Tamkeen, 2022
