Run the Gamut

I have a thousand brilliant lies
For the question:
How are you?

I have a thousand brilliant lies
For the question:
What is the Beloved?

If you think that the Truth can be known from words,
If you think that the Sun and the Ocean
Can pass through that tiny opening
Called the mouth,
O someone should start laughing!
Someone should start wildly Laughing!

Someone Should Start Laughing by Hafiz

In this world of superficial how-do-you-do's and rushed human encounters, this resonated with me. I am sharing in hopes that it might lift the spirits of someone else as well.
