A poet is someone

Then raise it to nourish
Your beautiful parched, holy mouth.
-Hafiz
This came true for me today when I noticed a single line from a different Hafiz poem. It explained perfectly a concept I was more laboriously discussing with patients earlier in the week.
“A skinned knee is better off for having ached.”
Have a great week!
