A poem ...
The Place Where You Are Now by Hafiz This place where you are right now God circled on a map for you. Wherever your eyes and arms and heart can move Against the earth and the sky, The Beloved has bowed there – Our Beloved has bowed there knowing You were coming. I could tell you a priceless secret about Your real worth, dear pilgrim, But any unkindness to yourself, Any confusion about others, Will keep one From accepting the grace, the love, The sublime freedom Divine knowledge always offers to you. Never mind, Hafiz, about The great requirements this path demands Of the wayfarers, For your soul is too full of wine tonight To withhold the wondrous Truth from this world. But because I am so clever and generous, I have already clearly woven a resplendent lock Of his tresses As a remarkable truth and gift In this poem for you. ~Hafiz
