Recent news update. Plus Flickr link for photos.

Bismi'llah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim...for the sake of Prophet Muhammad saws and Sheikh Nazim may Allah protect his secret.

O.K. Well summer really is over now. I'm trying the experiment of living at the coast with all its inherent dangers especially that of relating to others through the bar scene when confronted with the option of returning to an empty house at night devoid of my beloved Bilquis. I'm there for access to the markets where I make my living and that scene too has many distractions away from the spiritual path. The Prophet PBUH said that Shaytan has two homes .. one is the lavatory and the other the market place ... oh dear!
Anyway I am starting something new and that is around the Country Farmers markets .. rather nice actually though it involves a fair amount of travelling. Today I was in Mollina near Antequera about 150 kms from my place and now another 150kms west in Orgiva where my home base has been for a few years. Friday I could be another 150 kms east in Cartama .. The idea is to get a large van and put a bed cooker and water in it and then I am free to move the night before and be there for the early morning. If this is lucrative enough I will then make forays into Morrocco for some things I want to bring back from there (painted furniture, mirrors lamps, bags and shoes etc ) and hopefully make some reports and photographs from there.
Up 'til now I perhaps haven't mentioned that I have many of my photos on www.flickr.com where if you go and sign up (free and takes three mins) you can put my name "Sufibridge" in the search engine and you should get my page.
I still have no internet at home .. and this place is closing now .. so I'll sign off until the next time .. soon insha'llah!
