A universal photo. No matter what person, no matter the language, we are all brothers and sisters.

Oh that's good to know, Cyndi. I thought you might be
a Hafiz fan (me too!)

Your bio of Hafiz is most helpful, Jim.

Thanks to you both. @Isaly2 @eagleboi

Thank you Jim for this brilliant painting by Iman Maleki and the lovely message by Bliss Carman. Very interesting bio about Maleki. @mandato I, too, am a big fan of Hafiz's.

Thank you Maria for a deeper look into poetry by Iranian author. A brief bio of him:
Hafez, a Sufi poet, expressed in poetry love for the divine, and the intoxicating oneness of union with it. Hafiz, along with many Sufi masters, uses wine as the symbol for love. The intoxication that results from both is why it is such a fitting comparison. Hafiz spoke out about the hypocrisy and deceit that exists in society, and was more outspoken in pointing this out than many poets similar to him.
His poems are beautiful and meaningful.

I just solved and saw 'The Heart of Night' .
Wonderful, Jim. Would love to re-read...did I miss the author?
Thanks ...Maria @eagleboi

This lovely dreamy painting reminds me of the Iranian/Persian poet
mystic poet Hafiz:

Look what happens with
A love like that,
It lights the Whole Sky.”
― Hafiz
