This quote is not by the great Persian poet Hafez, who lived in Shiraz, Persia from 1325–1390, it's by Daniel Ladinsky, a contemporary American poet who "translated" Hafez into English and whose books about Hafez are the most popular "versions" in the West nowadays - the problem is just that the poems written by Ladinsky have absolutely nothing to do with actual Hafez poems (which follow very strict form conventions and the difference is obvious to anyone who has seen a real Hafez poem). Ladinsky does not speak Persian and claims his "translations" came to him in dreams, but if you look at his poems, you see that they are essentially original poetry published under Hafez's name and at most loosely inspired. I can really recommend this article about the whole topic

That so many of the poems attributed to Hafez are fake reveals a Western appropriation of Muslim spirituality.

I may never get over this quote from the linked article:

Ladinsky claims that Hafez appeared to him in a dream and handed him the English “translations” he is publishing: “About six months into this work I had an astounding dream in which I saw Hafiz as an Infinite Fountaining Sun (I saw him as God), who sang hundreds of lines of his poetry to me in English, asking me to give that message to ‘my artists and seekers’.” It is not my place to argue with people and their dreams, but I am fairly certain that this is not how translation works.

I wish I could say I drew the motorcycle from memory but sadly I had to heavily trace it. But I plan to work on drawing motorcycles this year and hopefully by the end I can freehand it more. Fingers crossed I get there!

I took a bus to a conference today and the bus driver fully stopped the bus to identify and chastise a person who was playing music out loud on their phone. That is how you get me to actually complete the customer service survey specifically so I can give you top ratings

It's days later and I'm still thinking about this man. Full ass bus pulled over to the side of a state highway with the hazards on, stalking down the center aisle intoning "ALL RIGHT. WHO'S GOT IT. YOU CAN'T HAVE IT ON SPEAKER." I want to commission a statue of him. a hero. a king.
