Tripping Over Joy
What is the difference
Between your experience of Existence
And that of a saint?
The saint knows
That the spiritual path
Is a sublime chess game with God
And that the Beloved
Has just made such a Fantastic Move
That the saint is now continually
Tripping over Joy
And bursting out in Laughter
And saying "I Surrender!"
Whereas, my dear,
I am afraid you still think
You have a thousand serious moves.
From "I Heard God Laughing" Renderings of Hafiz by Daniel Ladinsky
Sometimes I get angry
and frustrated with life and myself and after a moment of silence my inner child says to me “999 more serious move to
go”.
And I laugh and laugh and trip
over joy, also known as my inner child.
