It Felt Love
It's absolutely impossible to get any work done with so many convenient distractions!
Here is an amazing poem by the Sufi Master Hafiz.
It Felt Love
How
Did the rose
Ever open its heart
And give to this world
All its
Beauty?
It felt the encouragement of light
Against its
Being,
Otherwise,
We all remain
Too
Frightened.
That poem is from a book of Hafiz translations called The Gift by Daniel Ladinsky. Unfortunately I do not know Farsi, so I cannot really speak about the validity of the translations, but I've read through the book enough times and I am satisfied with the English. Although I am definitely going to make it a point to learn Farsi before I graduate!
