lis e-mailed me about gift following the last post and included this poem which i thought was brilliant...
the sun never says
to the earth,
"you owe me."
Look what happens
to a love like that,
it lights up the whole
sky.
- Hafiz (early 1300s, Persian, I think)



































What a great poem. Thanks for sharing it.

Hafiz is AMAZING - I bought a book of his poetry, & have not been disappointed. I think he's my favorite poet these days.
