Even after all this time
the sun never says
to the earth
“You owe me.”
Look what happens
with a love like that
it lights the whole sky
~Hafiz
Sunset over the Worcester Range
May your whole sky be lit up today~

Thanks, John! You are always welcome to come up and take photos here~ sunrise and sunset tend to be pretty spectacular, and different every day.
I love the water shot you have posted for the invitation for the Governor’s Gallery! http://stilllearningtosee.com/2014/07/02/an-invitation-to-the-governors-gallery/

“The Gift,” Daniel Ladinsky’s interpretation of Hafiz’s writings (and where this comes from as I recall), is one of my favorite books of all time.

Yes, I believe it does come from that book. My mom has had it on her bookshelf for many years, and I’ve carried this poem around with me for the last 10 years, tacking it up on a wall everywhere I’ve lived or worked. I’ve been loving Daniel Ladinsky’s “A Year with Hafiz: daily contemplations” lately, too. A poem for each day~ how wonderful!
