One Breath
A selection from Dr. Javad Nurbakhsh's poem, One Breath.
Treasure this breath,
--this moment you now enjoy.
Spend it in happiness: there is
--no time for sorrow.
Once this moment has passed,
--it is gone forever.
Your time is less
--than the very least you can imagine.
If you spend this moment laughing,
--the world will be all laughter.
But if you fall into depression,
--the world will be all sorrow.
Qtd. from Sufi Journal (v. 46)
