This is another couplet from Daniel Ladinsky's book on Hafiz' translations, I Heard God Laughing:
STRANGE MIRACLE
O wondrous creatures,
By what strange miracle
Do you so often
Not smile?
**********************
Yes, why indeed, I ask myself? Why don't we humans stop being our own worst enemies? Why don't we connect with JOY? Bring it into our hearts, and smile - and smile...
Wondering,
Kiki ;-)
