Hanging with Hafiz
Savor the sweet taste of joy at dawn. Touch its dew to your lips. Sip its golden drops. A single drop of joy can flood the world. Shed a tear of joy now. Find joy in all. Shape joy with loving-kindness. Let joy flow through your heart. Act from its love without expectations. Give joy without thinking of return. You were born into abundance. You did not arrive empty-handed. You have treasures of joy yet unopened. There is no end to your joy. Its bounty overflows. Yet, you complain of lack. You strive to attain this, that, and the other thing. It is the nature of the me of the body to desire worldly wealth, but do not hold your breath. The ways of the world are fickle and transitory. They leave you feeling empty. Nourish joy. Let it rise in your heart. Receive its abundance. The essence of joy is like a fragrant rose on a dewy morning.
