lis e-mailed me about gift following the last post and included this poem which i thought was brilliant…
Even after all this time
the sun never says
to the earth,
"you owe me."
Look what happens
to a love like that,
it lights up the whole
sky.
– Hafiz (early 1300s, Persian, I think)

What a great poem. Thanks for sharing it.
Hafiz is AMAZING – I bought a book of his poetry, & have not been disappointed. I think he’s my favorite poet these days.
oof… great quote!
