Imagine being so aligned with life’s rhythm that instead of struggling, resisting, or worrying, you simply allow yourself to be carried by the flow. In my opinion, Hafiz suggests that this is exactly what the wisest among us do. They recognize that there’s a divine intelligence at play—call it God, the universe, or simply the deep wisdom of life—and they trust it fully.

I’m sharing this from my heart because I recently experienced an incredible example of people stepping up to help. There was a stray dog in our neighborhood who had been on her own for almost five months. The weather was turning very cold, and I was afraid she wouldn’t make it through the night. She was scared of humans, and no one could get close to her.
