Several Times in the Last Week

Ever since Happiness heard your name,

It has been running through the streets

Trying to find you.

And several times in the last week,

God Himself has even come to my door–

Asking me for your address!

Once I said,

"God,

I thought You knew everything.

Why are You asking me

Where Your lovers live?"

And the Beloved replied,

Indeed, Hafiz, I do know Everything–

But it is fun playing dumb once in a while.

And I love intimate chat

And the warmth of your heart's fire.

Maybe we should make this poem into a song–

I think it has potential!

How does this refrain sound,

For I know it is a Truth:

Ever since Happiness heard your name,

It has been running through the streets

Trying to find you.

And several times in the last week,

God Himself has come to my door–

So sweetly asking for your address,

Wanting the beautiful warmth of your heart's fire.

-Hafiz-

Happy Day

Good Morning Latte, by Melanie Banayat

Today:

I applied for jobs, 

delighted in sunlight outside Zoka, 

spent time reading books and sipping espresso with my sister, 

made friends with Ziggy-the-Bernese-mountain-dog 

feasted on Indian food with Spiro, Jenaleigh and Jacqueline,

drank blueberry tea with friends at B&O,

conversed, communed, and now...

it is time for bed.

Only in Dreams...

I'm a Working Woman Now

Here's where I'll be spending my weekends...

...and I am so excited!

I will be pouring wine and working events (and the cash register) this summer at the Icicle Ridge Winery in Peshastin. I wholeheartedly recommend coming to visit--the location, people and wine here are amazing. 

love and peace,
