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’m afraid you still think
You have a thousand serious moves.

This is precious! m.
Being aware of the game is the beginning of the first round of play. Thanks again for a wonderful post.
Yes! Hafiz points out that the awake response to it all is being filled with wonder and joy.
This reminds me of a poem by Mary Oliver called This World.
Isn’t it great to be living?!
