Even after all this time the sun never says to the earth, 'You owe me. - Hafez

"I once asked a bird,
"How do you fly in this gravity of darkness ?"
And she replied "Love lifts me"

~ Hafiz~"

All happenings needed to be; accept that, my
dear. Ask for any forgiveness one more time
if you must,

ask for forgiveness one more time if you must,
then move on to your glory and sublime reign.

If you asked for a few words of comfort and
guidance I would quickly kneel by your side
and offer you a whole book … — Hafez, from “Companion for LIfe,” Poetry of Presence: An Anthology of Mindfulness Poems, eds. Phyliis Cole-Davis & Ruby R. Wilson (Grayson Books, 2017)
