the scent of light
Why Carry?
Hafiz,
Why carry a
whole load of books
Upon your back
Climbing this mountain,
When tonight,
Just a few thoughts of God
Will light the holy fire.
A rendering of a Hafiz poem by Daniel Ladinsky
Beautiful poems like this one are recited in a CD with refreshing North Indian Classical Music in the background. The CD is called “Hafiz: The Scent of Light“.

The Six Archetypes of Love

“The main character of every ‘great’ story in the Western Canon is invited to undertake a symbolic, spiritual journey, and along the way he, or she, has to achieve these mileposts.” – Allan G. Hunter
