Favorite poem (~.~)

I Got Kin  (by 14th century Persian poet, Hafiz. Modernized by Daniel Ladinsky (oh so carefully to preserve the feeling of the heart):

 

Plant

So that your own heart

Will grow.


Love

So God will think,


"Ahhhhhh,

I got kin in that body!

I should start inviting that soul over

For coffee and

Rolls."


Sing

Because this is a food

Our starving world

Needs.


Laugh

Because that is the purest

Sound.
