Excerpt from The Gift: Poems by Hafiz, borrowed from my Chaplain colleague Dale McAbee

The Sun Never Says

Even
After
All this time
The sun never says to the earth,

"You owe
Me."

Look
What happens
With a love like that,
It lights the
Whole Sky.

Is a college chaplain a modern form of a hofmeister (house tutor)? See for yourself. And if so, I'm just a chip-off the old-Deutschlander-family-tree-block.
