“What happens when your soul
Begins to awaken
Your eyes
And your heart
And the cells of your body
To the great Journey of Love?

First there is wonderful laughter
And probably precious tears
And a hundred sweet promises
And those heroic vows No one can ever keep.

But still God is delighted and amused

You once tried to be a saint.
What happens when your soul
Begins to awake in this world
To our deep need to love And serve the Friend?
O the Beloved Will send you One of His wonderful, wild companions …. Like Hafiz”.
