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.
(“The Gift” – versions of Hafiz by Daniel Ladinsky)
This reading reminds me of the above poem by Hafiz. Here Hafiz implores one to let go of the past and unnecessary suffering.
