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.
– Hafiz
an overflowing, unbridled unshakable joy:
beyond the duality of good and evil,
a kind of joy, that is rooted deep within itself,
in trust, in acceptance – “everything is alright in all of creation”….
surrender to the energy of your own life
trust in the power of nature, which is yourself
