Hanging with Hafiz
In the whole of the all, you are that which I AM. Cold and hunger comes upon us together. Comfort and guidance are shared among all. No one aches alone. All are bound in companionship. One cannot be without two. Yin and yang nestle in unity as one. Look upon all joyously. Love with passion. Dance each new day into being. Be humble. Live simply. Be courteous and kind. The ways of the world both heal and cripple. What is the reason for suffering if not to heal and find your way home? You may rail at the world and the heavens above, but ultimately you turn within to heal from the inside out, for you are starving for wisdom and joy. They are the food that sustains you, not ignorance and fear. Follow their light. Hear their voice. Let the womb of knowledge give birth within you. It all seems so crazy. All your ghosts of the past, your grudges, and fears seem to have flown the coop. There is comfort somewhere in all of this.
