“Our union is like this: You feel cold so I reach for a blanket to cover our shivering feet. A hunger comes into your body so I run to my garden and start digging potatoes.
You ask for a few words of comfort and guidance, I quickly kneel at your side offering you this whole book–As a gift.
You ache with loneliness one night so much you weep and I say, here’s a rope, tie it around me, Hafiz will be your companion for life.”
–Hafiz, The Gift
