Hafez

Introducing My Other Website

Every child has known God.

Not the God of names,

Not the God of don’ts,

Not the God who ever does anything weird,

But the god who only knows

Four words.

And He keeps repeating them, saying:

“Come dance with me.”

~ Hafez

This blog is meant for every person who aspires to use all of life––the brutal, the glorious, the just plain nuts––to cultivate a well-honed heart, one increasingly playful, loving and deep.

Imagine us crossing paths every so often and sharing whatever our experiences are teaching us.  This blog is my contribution.  I hope you’ll add yours when it feels right.
