Break all our teacup talk of God....
The Beloved sometimes wants
To do us a great favour:
Hold us upside down
And shake all the nonsense out.
But when we hear
he is in such a "playful drunken mood"
Most everyone I know
Quickly packs their bags and hightails it
Out of town.
~ Hafiz, Persian lyric poet (1325-1389)
