Instamatic Focal Point: Siwa, Egypt


And
For no reason
I start skipping like a child
And
For no reason
I turn into a leaf
That is carried so high
I kiss the Sun's mouth
And dissolve
And
For no reason
A thousand birds
Choose my head for a conference table,
Start passing their
Cups of wine
And their wild songbooks all around
And
For every reason in existence
I begin to eternally
To eternally laugh and love!
When I turn into a leaf
And start dancing,
I run to kiss our beautiful Friend
And I dissolve in the Truth
That I Am.

- Hafez (خواجه شمس‌الدین محمد حافظ شیراز)
