Reflection for July 8, 2009


A Root In Each Creature and Act

The Sun's eyes are painting fields again.

Its lashes with expert strokes
Are sweeping across the land.

A great palate of light has embraced
This earth.

Hafiz, if just a little clay and water
Mixed in His bowl
Can yield such exquisite scents, sights
Music-and whirling forms-

What unspeakable wonders must await with
The commencement of unfolding
Of the infinite number of petals
That are the
Soul.

What excitement will renew your body
When w all begin to see
That His Heart resides in Everything?

God has a root in each act and creature
That He draws His mysterious divine life from.

His eyes are painting fields again.

The Beloved with his own hands is tending
Raising like a precious child
Himself in You.
Hafiz
