I know a cure for sadness:
Let your hands touch something that
makes your eyes
smile.
I bet there are a hundred objects close by
that can do that.
Look at
beauty's gift to us -
her power is so great she enlivens
the earth, the sky, our
soul.
- Mira, from Love Poems From God:
Twelve Sacred Voices from the East and West
Mirabai (c. 1498-1550) is the most renowned woman poet-saint
of India, her songs sung by Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs alike.
