Ramzan: My Third Day - Comfort from Hafiz for us all

This is dedicated to a precious "little brother" and friend who just lost the 3rd person of his beloved family to murder.

OUR UNION

Our union is like this:

You feel cold so I reach for a blanket to cover our shivering feet.

A hunger comes into your body so I run to my garden and start digging potatoes.

You asked for a few words of comfort and guidance and I quickly kneel by your side...
0ffering you a whole book as a gift.

You ache with loneliness one night so much you weep, and I say
here is a rope, tie it around me,
Hafiz will be your companion for life...

  2. Dear Friend,

    Yes and I consider you and the special gifts to come even out of your own experience with pain. Hafiz wants to be a good friend for you.

    My daughter and I already embrace his comfort now for years.
    You will understand him more than most folk - his deep spiritual psychology, his playfulness, his metaphors. Enjoy...
