…soothing the soul and tending heart, mind, and body
There is no spot on earth that ever became sacred until something danced there;
maybe it was just an atom or two.
…
There is no place in existence that ever became sacred until something sang there,
even be it just a molecule.
That is enough. I hear they croon all the time.
– Hafiz, in A Year with Hafiz, Daniel Ladinsky, translator
