My Continued Search for God: One Regret

If you have read some of my previous work, you will know that while I consider myself a spiritual person, I do not consider myself a religious person and am not so sure I believe in a God. I have read, studied, discussed and continue my "search for God." The first breakthrough was when I realized  that there could be a "spiritual god", up until then only thinking in terms of a "religious god." But that is a different story. Meanwhile I would like to share a number of "Love Poems from God" edited by Daniel Ladinsky 2002.Only a few of the poems spoke to me and I continue to contemplate them and document them here for you as well as for my future study.



Hafiz (c 1320-1389) is the most beloved poet of Persia and is considered to be one of history's greatest lyrical geniuses. 

ONE REGRET

One regret that I am determined not to have
when I am lying upon my
death bed

is that we did not kiss
enough
