These poems are written for the common man in common everyday speech as seen through eyes that don't idolize individualism and separation. Rather, they reflect the human potential of living in a world of harmony and grace. During a time of international political and religious chaos and violence, perhaps this work will in some way be an essential guide for our survival and recovery. Always the humble teacher, Hafiz, the Perfect Master, sits with us on the barstool in the town pub like a mirror, reflecting back our dreams.
