Just because
Mar. 25th, 2006 12:02 pmA poem that my minister used as a reading last Sunday
The Happy Virus
I caught the happy virus last night
When I was out singing beneath the stars.
It is remarkably contagious --
So kiss me.
-- by Hafiz, 14th-century Sufi poet
(I did ask her how any 14th-century poet could have written about viruses
-- she laughed and said it was not a literal translation!)
