Poem

Hafiz is one of my favorites...

MANIC SCREAMING

We should make all spiritual talk
Simple today:

God is trying to sell you something,
But you don't want to buy.

That is what your suffering is:

Your fantastic haggling,
Your manic screaming over the price.

- Hafiz, translated by Daniel Ladinsky, I Heard God Laughing
