Two significant and beautiful readings that touched me this weekend:
(1) Psalm 90:17 ---- "And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us and establish the work of our hands for us , yes, establish the work of our hands" ;
(2) This poem is by a Sufi poet of old , Hafiz ---
"What Happens to the Guest "
What happens to the guests who keeps visiting the verse of the Perfect One?
Their voices and cells become refined
And like the soft night candle , the moon,
They begin to give light to the world
All the lights they have learned.
Your hand sits in the classroom of God,
An apprentice as Hafiz was
Mastering the craft of the Divine Beauty.
As this earth spins on the Potter's Wheel.
