Even after all this time
the sun never says to the earth
you owe me.
Look what happens
with a love like that.
It lights the whole sky.
Hafiz
Hafiz speaks of a love that does not demand repayment. A giving that is effortless, constant, and free of expectation. The sun gives because it is its nature to give, not because it seeks recognition or return.
This poem gently asks us to consider how often we keep score. How often we measure love, effort, kindness, and loyalty as transactions. Hafiz offers another way of being. To give simply because something in you overflows.
There is a quiet power in generosity without conditions. When we stop asking what we will receive, our presence alone becomes enough to illuminate the space around us.
