Oh do I love Hafiz, that playful Sufi poet. Here, I just have to share this poem with you all, especially with you,
tracyworld!
(From A Year With Hafiz by Daniel Ladinsky)
Just As I Suspected
In a vision I heard this clearly whispered:
Study those who sing the most, but are free
of criticism or praise.
Following that advice, things turned out
just as I suspected:
I started spending more time with birds.
