Wisdom from Hafiz of Shiraz

~ The Sun Never Says~

I’ve encountered this poem (found on page 34 of The Gift: Poems by Hafiz, The Great Sufi Master, Penguin Compass, 1999) three times in the past week. It must be asking me to listen and then share.

“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.”

If we each practiced loving this way, imagine the light we’d create. 

Brings so much to mind… creation, “I am the light…”

Brilliance!
