Today in contemplation
Hanging with Hafiz
Listen! Do not shut your ears to the voice within. Words from your true nature nourish and sustain. They rain like pearls from heaven. Cup your hands. Catch the treasure. Lean into the message that you are the priest before the altar, the painter at the easel, the potter turning the wheel. Pour yourself into the moment. You are at the table. Take in all that is set before you. You are the precious one. You spread joy across the land. Do not turn away. Your brilliance is dazzling. You are a vision to behold. You soothe the souls of those who are beginning to hear. You are the comfort of the womb for those returning home. Into you the rivers pour. You are the valley receiving all. You quench parched lips. The voice has carried you here to be its emissary of joy. You heard the words, so write a letter now. A letter of resignation to all your judgments and hopes. Find truth in your own heart this moment. Send your fears to the trash. Let your actions reveal joy to all.
