Dear Friends,

 

 

 

Look at his face! This picture is of my darling-hearted

friend, Juneau. Who could look at that face and think of eating him?

 

 

Majnun and Layla's Dog

 

Majnun saw Layla's dog and began kissing it,

running around like a hajji circling the Kaaba,

bowing to its paws, holding its head, scratching

its stomach, giving its sweets and rosewater.

 

"You idiot," said someone passing by.

"Dogs lick their privates and sniff

excrement on the road. This is insane,

the intimate way you treat that dog."

 

"Look through my eyes," said the lover.

"See the loyalty, how he guards the house

of my Friend, how he is so glad to see us.

 

Whatever we feel, grief, the simple delight

of being out in the sun, he feels

that with us completely.

 

don't look too much at surface actions.

Discover the lion, the rose of his real nature.

Friend, this dog is a garden gate into the invisible."

 

Anyone preoccupied with pointing out what's wrong

misses the unseen. Look at his face!
