The God Who Only Knows Four Words 


Every child has known God.  
Not the God of names.  
Not the God of don't.  
Not the God who ever does anything weird.  
But the God who only knows four words.  
And keeps repeating them, saying: 'Come dance with me.'  
Come 
Dance. 


~Hafiz (16th century Sufi poet)

"God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh."

~Voltaire
