...and Sufism

Finally I wanted to share the following, from a book of "renderings of" poems by Hafiz, a 14th-century Sufi poet. Sufism really fits in with my view of all religions essentially being different ways to the same Truth, but that's a posting for another day. I would also like to admit that I feel a wee bit dorky and over the top posting this but not quite dorky or over the top enough to stop myself.

For a While (from I Heard God Laughing by Daniel Ladinsky)

We have all come to the right place.
We all sit in God's classroom.

Now,
The only thing left for us to do, my dear,

Is to stop
Throwing spitballs for a while.
