A Poem, An Offering of Words

Marc Gafni » Blog - Spiritually Incorrect » Hebrew Wisdom » A Poem, An Offering of Words

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.

Hafiz
