It Felt Love
How
Did the rose
Ever open it’s heartAnd give this world
All its
Beauty?It felt the encouragement of light
Against its
Being,Otherwise,
We all remainToo
Frightened

The poems of Hafiz are beautiful in special ways. Here he asks a simple question. How did the rose ever open it’s heart?
How do you open yours?
When you open your heart you share your beauty with the world.
But that’s scary! You could be hurt. Badly!
So you need to feel that encouragement to unfold the layers of protection that keep your heart hidden, so that you may unfold into the light.
With out that encouragement we never bloom out of fear of the consequences.
Love that which makes you reveal your heart.
Love who is the encouragement of light against your being.
Your duty is to give this world all of your beauty.
Exercise: Write in your Journal about the people who have been that light against your being.
Add them to your gratitude list. You can copy this one from my website:
