Today in contemplation
Hanging with Hafiz
There is no more taking up. There is no more laying down. The light within illuminates your heart. You cannot go on with your worldly ways. You see springtime in the field. Meadows are abloom. Children dance through the wildflowers. Their joyous laughter transcends nature. You are ecstatic. You are drunk with delight. You are swirling like a dervish. You are a whirlwind between heaven and earth. There is no more up. There is no more down. There is no more you. Joy has clutched you to her bosom. You feel the sweet pain of her embrace. You have closed your eyes to all else. There is nothing to know now but love.
