Stop Being So Religious
by Hafiz
by Hafiz
What
Do Sad people have in
Common?
It seems
They have all built a shrine
To the past
And often go there
And do a strange wail and
Worship.
What is the beginning of
Happiness?
It is to stop being
so religious
Like
That.
My love told me that today he is going to lay chrysanthemums on the grave of his fears. I honor this intention and reflect on the myriad ways that my fears have brought me the modicum of wisdom I have gained. Today, I celebrate the gift of my fears and honor the past. Also today, I release my need to wail and worship at the shrine of the past for today is the beginning of happiness. Today I plant the seeds of bliss.
May we all release our fears, integrate the wisdom that has come from the mistakes and fears of the past and may we playfully and joyfully celebrate this moment and every moment as it unfolds.
