“What is the difference The saint knows And that the Beloved That the saint is now continually Whereas, my dear, You have a thousand serious moves. — Hafiz
Between your experience of Existence
And that of a saint?
That the spiritual path
Is a sublime chess game with God
Has just made such a Fantastic Move
Tripping over Joy
And bursting out in Laughter
And saying, “I Surrender!"
I am afraid you still think
Tripping Over Joy
