The Guardians

“We are the guardians of His Beauty.

 We are the protectors

Of the Sun.

 There is only one reason

We have followed God into this world:

 To encourage laughter, freedom, dance

And love.

 Let a noble cry inside of you speak to me

Saying,

 “Hafiz,

Don't just sit there on the moon tonight

Doing nothing-

 Help unfurl my heart into the Friend's Mind,

Help, Old Man, to heal my wounded wings!”

 We are the companions of His Beauty.

We are the guardians

Of  Truth.

 Every man, plant and creature in Existence,

Every woman, child, vein and note

Is a servant of our Beloved-

 A harbinger of joy,

The harbinger of Light.”

What a high calling! To be a “Companion to Beauty.”  Lovely…thanks.

Re: The Guardians

How simply beautiful! I felt myself just sitting up straighter as I was reading… like I was being called to service. And that’s indeed what you are reminding me of… why I am here on this planet. Lovely!

Much love,

Nicola
