Lesson 119

Knowest thou not that parting goes before all meeting, and from darkness comes the light!

Excerpt

Hafiz, why art thou ever telling o’er The tale of absence and of sorrow’s night? Knowest thou not that parting goes before All meeting, and from darkness comes the light!

✨ To meditate on today

Today, look at a difficulty you are going through as the moment that comes before a meeting or a light, and make a gesture of hope: a message, a prayer, a step toward someone.
