Guidance & Comfort

“If you asked for a few words of comfort and guidance, I would quickly kneel by your side and offer you a whole book— but, my friend, you are even more boundless than that, and any words I could offer would pale beside the wisdom already within you.”

This quote reflects Hafiz’s deep reverence for the wisdom each person carries within. It suggests that, while words of comfort are valuable, the real strength lies in our own innate understanding and inner light. Hafiz’s lines gently remind us to trust our inner voice, as it often holds the most profound guidance and comfort.

These are wise words. Let me tell you, as an old man still searching, in every encounter, for “the one,” for “the moment,” for God, in fact, I have never stopped needing “comfort and guidance.” My self, who I am, is always at risk of losing my way when a man I meet doesn’t connect with me. What’s wrong with me? Am I too old? Too inadequate in some way? There are so many ways to be inadequate at my age. I do have an inner voice that is very strong, very articulate, very confident. But even that voice isn’t up to the task of rescuing me from feelings of failure, from feelings, even when I know how hard it is to connect in person, physically, with another man you’ve only chatted with online, of just being totally alone, with my old, skinny body, alone with my desire which is so powerful and so young, yearning for God, but not finding Him. What to do? Keep searching!!! I have always been rescued, as my inner voice has always told me would happen, by meeting that “someone,” who might not be “The One,” but who is part of Him. Sorry to sound so religious, but sex with the the right man is a revelation that is divine. The thing is, there is no heaven. You’ve just got yourself in the end. I believe in myself. And that’s the way I always find “Him,” if just for an hour or two.
