Then to the Lip of this poor earthen Urn
I lean'd, the secret Well of Life to learn:
And Lip to Lip it murmur'd: "While you live,
Drink! For, once dead, you never shall return"

How Time is slipping underneath our Feet:
Unborn To-morrow, and dead Yesterday,
Why fret about them if To-day be sweet!
Thanks BB...
That's what I thought.
When I die, let this be my epitaph
"The Sufi-girl jumped right in!
Wildly Content"

Originally posted by LemonJelloYeah, I was just thinking about you and Hafiz! Here I find myself going on about "that moon" again, which is nothing but a self-frustrating exercise. I swear off, and then find myself back here arguing the same ole stuff again, and embarrassing myself in the process.
For spirituality I look to the poets (but what do I know).
Especially Hafiz (but what a wino).
As Hafiz said: "The poets are the lifeboats."
