Here is a delightful poem from Hafiz (who wrote a poem every single day for his Teacher) in celebration of tomorrow's Summer Solstice, aka St. John the Baptist day, aka lots of other fertile and self-reflective things.
The Sun in Drag
You are the Sun in drag.
You are God hiding from yourself.
Remove all the "mine" - that is the veil.
Why ever worry about
Anything?
Listen to what your friend Hafiz
Knows for certain:
The appearance of this world
Is a Magi's brilliant trick, though its affairs are
Nothing into nothing.
You are a divine elephant with amnesia
Trying to live in an ant
Hole.
Sweetheart, O sweetheart
You are God in
Drag!!
You are God hiding from yourself.
Remove all the "mine" - that is the veil.
