Jami Quote

A beautiful quote from the 15th century poet, Jami:

"It is better to be like lightning -- bright.
As long as you live, be happy and laughing.
To bring a smile to a drooping heart
Is better than giving away sweets."

~Tales from the Land of the Sufis by Mojdeh Bayat and Ali Jamnia

Alhamdulillah! A beautiful quote from one of my favorite books :) I lived in the Chicago khaniqah for four years with Ali and Mojdeh, my dear brother and sister, and will see them again soon when I visit Chicago over Labor Day weekend.

Ya Haqq!
