Once a young woman asked me,
“How does it feel to be a man?”
And I replied,
“My dear,
I am not so sure.”Then she said,
“Well, aren’t you a man?”And this time I replied,
“I view gender
As a beautiful animal
That people often take for a walk on a leash
And might try to enter in some odd contest
To try to win prizes.“My dear,
A better question for Hafiz
Would have been,“How does it feel to be a heart?”
For all I know is Love,
And I find my heart Infinite
And Everywhere!
Hafiz (translated by Daniel Ladinsky)

Occupy Wall Street, Not Palestine
The Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions National Committee (BNC), the largest Palestinian civil society coalition struggling for Palestinian rights, is proud to stand in solidarity with the movements struggling for a new world based on democracy, human rights and economic justice. From New York to Athens, from Madrid to Santiago, from Bahrain to Rome, these huge mobilisations provide a much needed reminder of something that Palestinians have always known – that another world, a dignifying one, is possible and ordinary people can create it.
