Hafez

The Truth has shared so much of Itself with me That I can no longer call myself A man, a woman, an angel, Or even pure Soul.

I once asked a bird, how is it that you fly in this gravity of darkness? She responded, 'love lifts me.'

The earth has disappeared beneath my feet, It fled from all my ecstasy. Now like a singing air creature I feel the rose keep opening.

For I have learned that every heart will get_x000D_ What it prays for_x000D_ Most.

Love sometimes gets tired of speaking sweetly and wants to rip to shreds all your erroneous notions of the truth that make you fight within yourself, dear one, and with others, causing the world to weep on too many fine days... The Beloved sometimes wants to do us a great favor: Hold us upside down and shake all the nonsense out.

Fear is the cheapest room in the house. I would like to see you living in better conditions.

Listen; this world is the lunatic's sphere , _x000D_ Don't always agree it's real, _x000D_ Even with my feet upon it And the postman knowing my door _x000D_ My address is somewhere else.

The _x000D_ Earth would die_x000D_ If the sun stopped kissing her.

The heart is a thousand stringed instrument that can only be tuned with love.

Greatness is always built on this foundation: the ability to appear, speak and act, as the most common man.

We have come into this exquisite world to experience ever and ever more deeply our divine courage, freedom and light!

Run my dear,_x000D_ From anything_x000D_ That may not strengthen_x000D_ Your precious budding wings.

I caught the happy virus last night_x000D_ When I was out singing beneath the stars._x000D_ It is remarkably contagious - _x000D_ So kiss me.

This place where you are right now, God circled on a map for you.

There are different wells within your heart. Some fill with each good rain, Others are far too deep for that.

I long for You so much_x000D_ _x000D_ I follow barefoot Your frozen tracks_x000D_ _x000D_ That are high in the mountains_x000D_ _x000D_ That I know are years old._x000D_ _x000D_ I long for You so much_x000D_ _x000D_ I have even begun to travel_x000D_ _x000D_ Where I have never been before.

How seamless seemed love and then came trouble!

Join me in the pure atmosphere of gratitude for life.

How Do I Listen to others? As if everyone were my Master Speaking to me His Cherished Last Words.

Every desire of your body is holy;_x000D_ _x000D_ Every desire of your body is_x000D_ _x000D_ Holy.

There is no pleasure without a tincture of bitterness.
