If, like the prophet Noah, you have patience in the distress of the flood, Calamity turns aside, and the desire of a thousand years comes forth.
HafezI once asked a bird, how is it that you fly in this gravity of darkness? She responded, 'love lifts me.'
HafezThere is an ambush everywhere from the army of accidents; therefore the rider of life runs with loosened reins.
HafezI have learned so much from God that I can no longer call myself a Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Jew. The Truth has shared so much of Itself with me that I can no longer call myself a man, a woman, an angel, or even a pure Soul. Love has befriended me so completely it has turned to ash and freed me of every concept and image my mind has ever known.
Hafez
