Selling Your Art
At the very least you are a vital cell in a cosmic holy body.
And everyone works so hard, no matter what they do.
There is no place for you to go but onward into a greater freedom.
The poor man rarely parties because of so many cares. We should put an end to that.
Knowledge can be pawned off for a good sum. Find some Truth and mix it with your talents.
If you get the balance right between you and others, and you and death, ships will start selling your art.
And maybe even a masterpiece you will become, your every gesture.
- Hafiz. Beautifully translated by Daniel Ladinsky in his work, 'A Year With Hafiz.'
