There are divine riches everywhere

There are divine riches everywhere
The most natural way for most to find them is by caring for those who are close to you
as if they were our Beloved
                                           Hafiz


sometimes
it all seems dark
sometimes our lives seem empty
sometimes
we start feeling
like we don't have enough

poor me

but there are divine riches everywhere
all we have to do
is open our eyes
and see
the wonders around us

the blessings that come
not as we strive for love
but that come
as we simply give love

as we feed the hungry
clothe the naked
comfort the sorrowful

the blessings that come
when we are there for others

this is how we share the light
it is also
how we fill our own cup
with joy
