    “TRIPPING OVER JOY

    What is the difference
    Between your experience of Existence
    And that of a saint?

    The saint knows
    That the spiritual path
    Is a sublime chess game with God

    And that the Beloved
    Has just made such a Fantastic Move

    That the saint is now continually
    Tripping over Joy
    And bursting out in Laughter
    And saying, “I Surrender!”

    Whereas, my dear,
    I am afraid you still think
    You have a thousand serious moves.”
    ― Hafez, I Heard God Laughing: Poems of Hope and Joy
