My friend Zoe Hill included this in an email, and I thought it so wonderful, I want to share.
You are the Sun in drag.
You are God hiding from yourself.
Remove all the 'mine' – that is the veil.
Why ever worry about anything?
Listen to what your friend Hafiz
Knows for certain:
The appearance of this world
Is a Magi's brilliant trick, though its affairs are
Nothing into nothing.
You are a divine elephant with amnesia
Trying to live in an ant hole.
Sweetheart, O sweetheart,
You are God in Drag!
