A Divine Invitation



I took this picture in Ohio City.
There is a park there with all this beautiful artwork on tiles by kids.
hope you like the poem below!!

A Divine Invitation

You have been invited to meet
The Friend

No one can resist a Divine Invitation.
That narrows down all our choices
To just two:

We can come to God
Dressed for Dancing,

Or

Be carried on a stretcher
To God's Ward.

-Hafiz, translation by Daniel Ladinsky

Hello!

I found your blog via San's blogroll and I've just started checking it out. I am an admirer of Hafiz. This poem is beautiful! I also like the peaceful peace sign photo! Thanks for sharing them.

Peace and blessings to you!
