If God Invited You To A Party
A dear friend of mine, Alan, is in hospital right now. He is a great teacher of love and compassion and he infuses everything and everyone he touches with a radiant, healing light. He is all heart. Yesterday another friend and I went to visit him, and the three of us shared an incredible experience of love and connection. I feel so blessed, and so grateful.
One of Alan's favorite poets is Hafiz, and I read a poem to Alan yesterday during the visit. I would like to post it here, in honour of Alan and his ability to be the love, to embody the light and savour each moment.
IF GOD INVITED YOU TO A PARTY
If God
Invited you to a party
And said,
"Everyone
In the ballroom tonight
Will be my special
Guest,"
How would you then treat them
When you
Arrived?
Indeed, indeed!
And Hafiz knows
There is no one in this world
Who
Is not upon
His Jeweled Dance
Floor.
As Alan said, "We all showed up to the party." Yes, Alan, yes we did. And what a party it is! Each of us dancing our own unique dance, each so beautiful and so necessary......
