Tripping Over Joy

Quote of the day:  A beautiful poem by Hafiz:

Tripping Over Joy

What is the difference

Between your experience of Existence

And that of a saint?

The saint knows

That the spiritual path

Is a sublime chess game with God

And that the Beloved

Has just made such a Fantastic Move

That the saint is now continually

Tripping over Joy

And bursting out in Laughter

And saying “I Surrender!”

Whereas, my dear,

I am afraid you still think

You have a thousand serious moves.
