What Happens? ~ A Love Poem by Hafiz
What happens when your soul
Begins to awaken
Your eyes
And your heart
And the cells of your body
To the great Journey of Love?
First there is wonderful laughter
And probably precious tears
And a hundred sweet promises
And those heroic vows
No one can ever keep.
But still God is delighted and amused
You once tried to be a saint.
What happens when your soul
Begins to awake in this world
To our deep need to love
And serve the Friend?
O the Beloved
Will send you
One of His wonderful, wild companions ~
Like Hafiz.

Inspirational Quote and Photo of the Week ~ Where is the Beloved?
The Way I See It…
I Believe
That the truth lies within us all
But
We, get to choose,
What we want to believe
That none of us will ever be perfect
But we have all been perfect
At least once
I believe in taking a couple of momments, each day
To thank God,
That anyone loves us, the way they do
I believe, that good things happen to those who wait
But that it’s rude to hold your breath, while you are waiting
That starting over, is something that happens on a moment to moment basis
And we should never be ashamed, to start over
That being wrong, and knowing it sucks, like nothing else
And admitting we were wrong, out loud, sometimes takes, the greatest courage
That our bodies are a temple,
the house, that our souls rests in
But the beauty of the flesh, will never compare, with the beauty that lies within
That pride inevitably, comes before a fall
Look around,
Even God,
knows how to be humble
That if you want to see heaven, it is all around you
If you need a closer look, look into the eyes of children, observe animals
I believe, those who say the least, often speak the loudest
Wisdom is not in words spoken,
but by things felt by the heart
That things are relative,
no matter who we may think we are
And that judging others,
is one of the surest signs of human ignorance
I believe that making yourself small,
so others can be big
Will never make sense now or ever
That a heart that has been broken, often loves the deepest
And the suffering we despise, is often our best teacher
I believe, until you forgive yourself,
you will never believe that anyone could truly love you
And that there are places inside of us all,
so haunting
Even we, become afraid of the dark
I believe, in finding a way to love yourself
That you could only pray that someone could want to
I believe in taking a leap of faith, like you really mean it
Even when everyone, says you will land on your face
I believe that even scars, can bring back beautiful memories
Not everything, has to be perfect, to be perfectly wonderful
I believe in loving beyond what is easy,
I believe in loving beyond what is comfortable
I believe in a love that defies reason
I believe in a love that exists
I believe in finding out who you are, and f-ing liking yourself..
I believe in laughing, until your stomach hurts
And then keep laughing, until tears stream down your face
I believe
I believe
I believe
