Stop being so religious!
I need a shot of Hafiz daily.
It helps set my mind in the right place.
Quiet, that is.
And grateful.
STOP BEING SO RELIGIOUS
what
do sad people have in
common?
it seems
they have all built a shrine
to the past
and often go there
and a strange wail and
worship
what is the beginning of
happiness?
it is to stop being
so religious
like
that.

Hafiz of the Day
THE SEED CRACKED OPEN
It used to be
that when I would wake in the morning
I could with confidence say,
“What am ‘I’ going to Do?”
That was before the seed cracked open.
Now Hafiz is certain:
There are two of us housed in this body,
doing the shopping together in the market and
tickling each other
while fixing the evening’s food.
Now when I awake
all the internal instruments play the same music:
“God, what love-mischief can ‘We’ do
for the world today?”
