As 2017 comes to a close and the winter solstice passes, here’s to a happy new year and leaving the dark days behind. We give you this poem by 12th-century Persian poet Hafiz.
The Sun Never Says
by Hafiz
Even after all this time
the sun never says to the earth,
“You owe me.”
Look what happens with
a love like that,
it lights the whole sky.
