Too many of us stay in an ethereal realm where to greatest outcome of our food choices is a smug satisfaction of eating an [...]

Poem: We have not come here to take prisoners, by Hafiz

WE HAVE NOT COME TO TAKE PRISONERS
 
We have not come here to take prisoners,
But to surrender ever more deeply
To freedom and joy.

From anything
That may not strengthen
Your precious budding wings.
 
Run like hell my dear,
From anyone likely
To put a sharp knife
Into the sacred, [...]
