TRIPPING OVER JOY
What is the difference
Between your experience of Existence
And that of a saint?
The saint knows
That the spiritual path
Is a sublime chess game with God
And that the Beloved
Has just made such a Fantastic Move
That the saint is now continually
Tripping over Joy
And bursting out in Laughter
And saying "I Surrender!"
Whereas, my dear,
I am afraid you still think
You have a thousand serious moves.
--Hafiz
Peace & Love.

Well, I know this...I want to trip over joy, burst into laughter and say "I surrender"...I can do without all this "thinking" business!! ♥
Fabulous photograph!!!!
Ah, Hafiz. That's a poem I've missed. Thanks for sharing it. Ah.
What do I love more: the photo or the poem?
Oh, but I love BOTH!!!! :)
Ah...just printed this out. Joy is what I (we all, probably!) need!
Love the photo. :)
Thanks so much for sharing this! I love Hafiz, but wasn't familiar with this poem. It is beautiful and SO VERY TRUE!
