Everything is clapping

Reading from Tuesday, September 16, 2014 yoga class

It was a crazy kinda of day for me today... starting with my cat, Chewie, dumping over the litter box onto the carpet and ending with coming into the studio today to find the toliet backed up and no plunger!!!  So... I had to go and get one... but luckily it worked.  :)  So... I had the following poem by Hafiz,  in my folder, waiting for just the right time.  Today was it.   I hope it makes you smile.

Everything is clapping today.

Light,
Sound,
Motion,
All movement.

A rabbit I pass pulls a cymbal
from a hidden pocket
then winks.

This causes a few planets and I 
to go nuts
and start grabbing each other.

Someone sees this,
calls a 
Shrink,

Tries to get me 

committed 
for 
being too 
happy.

Listen: this world is the lunatic's sphere,
don't always agree it's real,

Even with my feet upon it
and the postman knowing my door

My address is somewhere else.
