I'm going to be.

I'm going to

I'm going to Good morning.

God morning to you.

Roomy says, be silent.

Don't say anything.

When the heart starts burning, it smells like incense.

He says don't go to sleep one night. What you want most will come to you then. Warmed by a sun inside, you'll see wonders. Tonight, don't put your head down. Be tough. And strength will come. That which adoration

adores appears at night. Those asleep may miss it. One night Moses stayed awake and saw a light in a tree.

Then he walked at night for ten years until finally he saw the whole tree illuminated.

Muhammad rode his horse through the night sky. The day is for work, the night for love. Don't let someone bewitch you. Some people sleep at night, but not lovers. I sit in the dark and talk to God, who told David those who sleep all night every night and claim to be connected to us. They lie. Lovers can't sleep when they feel the privacy of the beloved all around them. Someone

who's thirsty may sleep for a little while, but he or she will dream of water a full jar beside a

creek or the spiritual water you get from another person. All night, listen to the conversation. Stay up. This moment is all there is.

Death will take it away soon enough. You'll be gone and this earth will be left without a sweetheart.

Nothing but weeds growing inside thorns. I'm through. Read the rest of this poem in the dark tonight. Do I have a head

and feet? Shams so loved by Tabrizians, I close my lips. I wait for you to come and open them.

While I agree that staying up past the rest of your house is very powerful,

staying up in praying, staying up in journaling,

staying up in listening for the silence,

staying up and knowing only love is here,

even for just five minutes.

Also getting up before the rest of your house at 5 a.m. 5.30 a.m. just 20 minutes before you usually get up and practicing the presence of God.
