Thanks to Christy for posting these Hafiz lines in a comment a few days ago.
There are so many gifts, my dear,
Still unopened from your birthday…
A good way to start the year, I think. And something too that speaks simultaneously to this recent shifting, deep undersea and the big waves that have been crashing to shore in Asia. Not sleeping so well these days. So many gifts, so much energy and movement, so much churning and changing. I don’t imagine that anyone escapes untouched by these waves, even if we can’t quite say how.
