Hafiz: The Generous Sun - A Love Story

Loving Generosity

The 14th century Persian poet Hafiz wrote that the sun provides its life sustaining rays, radiating warm light that provides life to everything.  Hafiz summed up love with the lyrical words -


Even after all this time
The Sun never says to the Earth

"You owe me"

Look what happens with a love like that
it lights up the whole sky



So let it be with us,  give for givings sake.  Be generous with our love, time, money, and energy.  Give without the need for getting.  A simple smile and compliment can change the world.

Bring this sentiment, this powerful idea, this knowing into our families, our communities, our workplaces, our hearts.

With a love like that, we can light up the whole world.

With Love,

Coach K
