Find a Better Job

From The Gift, Poems by Hafiz, The Great Sufi Master, translation by Daniel Ladinsky. This…

Now
That
All your worry
Has proved such an
Unlucrative
Business,
Why
Not
Find a better
Job.

Indeed.

I was thinking how this wisdom would also be true if I substituted other words for worry…like judgment, anger, frustration, control, guilt. I’d much rather find a better job…like kindness, patience, acceptance, deep joy.

Or the greatest job in the world…seeing God, the Divine, Love Itself, in every living being, in everything.

BTW…No resume required.
Much love.
Paula
