The Work of Summer

“How
Did the rose
Ever open its heart
And give to this world
All its
Beauty?
It felt the encouragement of light
Against its Being.
Otherwise,
We all remain
Too
Frightened”
― Hafez
“When all your desires are distilled
You will cast just two votes:
To love more,
And be happy.”
― Hafez
Time and timing.
Slow and steady.
Steep and savor.
Summer’s invitation, call, purpose.
The work of summer.
More being, less doing.
The world ablaze with color, fragrance, light.
Rooted on sacred ground.
Reaching for the sky.
“Now that your worry has proved such an unlucrative business,
Why not find a better job?”― Hafez
