I do not want to step so quickly over a beautiful line on God’s Palm
As I move through the earth’s
Marketplace
Today.
Something has happened
To my understanding of existence
That now makes my heart always full of wonder
And kindness.
I do not want to step so quickly
Over this sacred place on God’s body
That is right beneath your
Own foot
As I dance with
Precious life
Today.
Today from Daniel Ladinsky, The Gift: Poems by Hafiz the Great Sufi Master
