LOVE.

Katie, I love your poems. I also love that you find the fine poetry of other poets and share it. Hafiz's work is truly stunning. I learn that as a poet, one's identity is enlarged. Studying on this.

I don't know if this is Hafiz or Rumi or another suffi poet. But I will share:

When the stars circle the pole, they envy human scope.

When the grapes turn to wine, they envy human capacity to change.

Be well, dear friend.

Thank you, Cindy, for appreciating my work and engaging with poetry wholeheartedly! I love that you shared another poem that fits right in with this series. The capacity to change sure is an admirable trait. It's kind of the baseline for all kinds of healthy relationships. Happy Thursday to you!
