Ellen sends this wonderful poem by Hafiz!!    Celebrate here!   Our hearts should do this more!!



Our Hearts Should Do This More

 
I sit in the streets with the homeless
 
My clothes stained with the wine
From the vineyards the saints tend.
 
Light has painted all acts
The same color
 
So I sit around and laugh all day
With my friends
 
At night if I feel a divine loneliness
I tear the doors off Love's mansion
 
And wrestle God onto the floor.
 
He becomes so pleased with Hafiz
And says,
 
"Our hearts should do this more"
