Hanging with Hafiz
You are love without fear. Your reflection is joy. Joy is the image of love. Joy emerges as the light in darkness. Joy arises from the depths of despair. Joy is the ember glowing within that never leaves you. Its light is revealed in the world as loving-kindness. Acts of love till the field in which joy grows. Cast aside desire. Do not want. Do not crave. Do not lust after worldly ways. Instead, love boldly without fear. Find joy in all things. Plant yourself in the ground of goodness. Let your roots run deep. Wind may blow. Rain may fall. Through it all you are planted firmly. Let joy be your strength and presence in the world. Love all without fear or expectation.
