Transcript

Welcome to the poem. All the hemispheres. From the Persian poet Hafiz. Leave the familiar for a while. Let your senses and body stretch out like a welcomed season onto the meadows and shores and hills. Open up to the roof. Make a new watermark on your excitement and love. Like a blooming night flower, Bestow your vital fragrance of happiness and giving upon our intimate assembly. Change rooms in your mind for a day. All the hemispheres in existence lie beside an equator in your heart. Greet yourself in your thousand other forms as you mount the hidden tide and travel back home. All the hemispheres in heaven are sitting around a fire chatting, While stitching themselves together into the great circle inside of you. Some questions to ponder. How can you acknowledge the many aspects of yourself? And how might you recognize and invite all of you to dance with the divinity that resides within you? Thank you for welcoming all the seasons of yourself.
