Wisdom For the Journey
                 THE SUN IN DRAG

You are the Sun in drag.
You are God hiding from yourself.
Remove all the "mine"-- that is the veil.
Why ever worry about
Anything?
Listen to what your friend Hafiz
Knows for certain:
The appearance of this world
Is a Magi's brilliant trick, though its affairs are
Nothing into nothing.
You are a divine elephant with amnesia
Trying to live in an ant
Hole.
Sweetheart, O sweetheart
You are God in
Drag!

~Hafiz
from 'The Gift'
translated by Daniel Ladinsky
