Poem 2

TWO BEARS by Hafiz translated by Daniel Ladinsky

Once, after a hard day's forage two bears sat together in silence on a beautiful vista

watching the sun go down, and feeling deeply grateful for life.

Though, after a while a thought-provoking conversation began which turned to

the topic of fame. The one bear said, "Did you hear about Rustam?

He has become famous and travels from city to city in a golden cage;

he pefrorms to hundreds of people who laugh and applaud his carnival stunts."

The other bear thought for a few seconds, then started weeping.

A Morning Thought

I used to live waiting until it is all over, not being able to see the value of my presence.

Then I learned to understand the invisible connection to One Source. Now I see value in all that I live. How amazing!

I learned that the body is not the cause of how I feel. If it would be, I would be still feeling the same.

I learned to see that the situations I lived through are not the source of how I feel. It they would be, I would be still feeling the same.

I learned that this world is not the cause of the way I feel too. If it would be, I would be feeling still the same.

I learned that my feelings indicate the present level of Self-awareness (state of mind) I offer to this world.

Love knowing Itself, loves Itself, negates nothing, resists nothing.
