 “The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature and God.

 But listen to me, for one moment quit being sad.

 “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I'll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.”

they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. – Marcel Proust

 Thou who hast given so much to me, give me one more thing... 
a grateful heart! -George Herbert
 “This sky where we live is no place to lose your wings so love, love, love.”
“I could tell you a priceless secret about your real worth dear pilgrim. 
But any unkindness to yourself, any confusion about others, will keep one from accepting the grace, the love! My challenge is to stand in the circle at every minute of the day: never fighting the present moment, honouring the beauty of where I am standing, and praising the miracles that brought me to this place, 
regardless of whether I have judged this place “good” or “bad.””  -Hafiz

***
Lord, I thank you for Hafiz, the only poet who made me cry. Thank you for leading me to him. I will not forget that moment i opened the book where i discovered his poem. What i carried in my heart that day, the release i felt - i have not danced so badly, trying to hold hands with the beautiful one. Thank you. 
I have been so emotional lately, crying at the most smallest things. Little gestures of love, thank you for letting me recognized you. Thank you for healing my dad. Thank you for your faithful love. "Though many times i run away from you in shame, I lift my hands and call upon Your name, for underneath the shadow of your wings, My melody is You"...My melody is you. I still seek you for i thirst. 
Thank you for my Singles For Christ brothers and sisters. I enjoyed very much our fellowship. I was laughing the whole time and i knew you were too. So thank you, thank you, thank you!
