Hafiz was a Sufi poet who lived in the 1300's. His many works have been translated across the globe, and his universal themes stand the test of time.
In keeping with our summer's themes of Joy and Dance, I offer you his poem, "Created for Joy." "I sometimes forget that I was created for Joy. My mind is too busy. My Heart is too heavy for me to remember that I have been called to dance the Sacred dance of life. I was created to smile To Love To be lifted up And to lift others up. O’ Sacred One Untangle my feet from all that ensnares. Free my soul. That we might Dance and that our dancing might be contagious." ~Hafiz
