Live

Now is the time to know
That all that you do is sacred.

Now, why not consider
A lasting truce with yourself and God.

Now is the time to understand
That all your ideas of right and wrong
Were just a child's training wheels
To be laid aside
When you finally live
With veracity
And love.
- Hafiz

Your astonishing light

I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own being.
- Hafiz

Love

"Even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth, "You owe me." Look what happens with a love like that, it lights the whole sky." Hafiz

God

Like a pair of mismatched newlyweds, one of whom feels very insecure,
I keep turning to God, saying: "Kiss me." - Hafiz
