One of my very favorite rascal Sufi poets is Hafiz. He says “stay close to any sounds that make you glad you are alive.“ While we continue with our extended restrictions, we may notice many of those sounds in our immediate surroundings.
Sweet sounds of sleep, my cats purring, joyous laughter erupting spontaneously, and of course the silence, that is framed by all the other sounds are a few of my favorites. Jazzy holiday music, soft rain tickling the windows, my own voice chanting. The heart beating… breath breathing the dance of outer and inner…
What’s your list? Can you stay close? Ki to Happiness is glad Hafiz made lots of sounds.

The birds singing this morning reminded me that life goes on.
