Full Moon!



Tonight is the full moon. 

This poem by Hafiz as translated by Daniel Ladinsky seems appropriate.



        FAITHFUL LOVER

The moon came to me last night
       With a sweet question.

                She said,

"The sun has been my faithful lover
       For millions of years,

     Whenever I offer my body to him
Brilliant light pours forth from his heart.

Thousands then  notice my happiness
          And delight in pointing
              Toward my beauty.

                      Hafiz,
    Is it our true that our destiny
          Is to turn into Light
                      Itself?

             And I replied,

             Dear Moon,
 Now that your love is maturing,
       We need to sit together
      Close like this more often

          So I might instruct you
                How to become
                         Who you
                            Are!
