Love and Surrender

The gauge of a good poem is…the size of the love-bruise it leaves on your neck.
Or the size of the love-bruise on your brain.
Or the size of the love-lump it can weave into your soul.
Or, indeed, it could be all of the above, why not?

- Hafez

Run my dear,
From anything
That may not strengthen
Your precious budding wings.

Run like hell my dear,
From anyone likely
To put a sharp knife
Into the sacred, tender vision
Of your beautiful heart.

-   حافظ Hafez  (via indiene)

Need brings us together; that makes need sacred.

- Hafez

Love creates a synchronicity with what love loves.

- Hafez

It is the nature of this world to share its burden with you.

And it is my nature to remove it from your back.

- Hafez

Our sufferings will allow us to become greater than any world or deity.

- Hafez

Run my dear, from anything that may not strengthen your precious budding wings. Run like hell my dear, from anyone likely to put a sharp knife Into the sacred, tender vision of your beautiful heart.

- Hafiz (via light-essence)

Do what most enables you to fly, and brings a feeling to the heart that makes you glad to be alive.

- Hafiz

The Beloved and each moment are one.

- Hafez
