Hello Hafiz
January 17, 2012
It’s a rainbow! Left Butuan City for an afternoon flight back to Manila. January 11, 2012
I have rainbow in my heart too… Naks! Hahaha baduy ko, anyhoo, I’m drinking lots of positive vibes this year. Been a lucky dumpling this early in the year and I hope I just get luckier and constantly plugged to the source of good energy. Everything has been going my way. Thank you lovely Universe! 
Let me share my gratitude tonight because in spite of some new beginnings anxiety that I’m going through, I’m surrounded by loving people who got my back. I am thankful for them because I feel a sense of safety and encouragement to be myself. I can be honest and thus free. How wonderful is that? SUPER.
Here is a poem by Hafiz that presently resonates with me. It presents an urgency for us to be authentic and loving people. Hope you like it as much as I do.
If It is Not Too Dark
Go for a walk, if it is not too dark.
Get some fresh air, try to smile.
Say something kind
To a safe-looking stranger, if one happens by.
Always exercise your heart’s knowing.
You might as well attempt something real
Along this path:
Take your spouse or lover into your arms
The way you did when you first met.
Let tenderness pour from your eyes
The way the Sun gazes warmly on the earth.
Play a game with some children.
Extend yourself to a friend.
Sing a few ribald songs to your pets and plants -
Why not let them get drunk and wild!
Let’s toast
every rung that we climbed on Evolution’s ladder.
Whisper, “I love you! I love you!”
To the whole mad world.
Let’s stop reading about God -
we will never understand Him.
Jump to your feet, wave your fists,
Threaten and warn the whole universe
That your heart can no longer live
Without real love!
Hafiz
