\"Rumi\"<\/p>\n

Forget your life. Say God is Great. Get up.
\nYou think you know what time it is. It’s time to pray.
\nYou’ve carved so many little figurines, too many.
\nDon’t knock on any random door like a beggar.
\nReach your long hands out to another door, beyond where
\nyou go on the street, the street
\nwhere everyone says, “How are you?”
\nand no one says, “How aren’t you?”<\/p>\n

Tomorrow you’ll see what you’ve broken and torn tonight,
\nthrashing in the dark. Inside you
\nthere’s an artist you don’t know about.
\nHe’s not interested in how things look different in moonlight.<\/p>\n

If you are here unfaithfully with us,
\nyou’re causing terrible damage.
\nIf you’ve opened your loving to God’s love,
\nyou’re helping people you don’t know
\nand have never seen.<\/p>\n

Is what I say true? Say yes quickly,
\nif you know, if you’ve known it
\nfrom before the beginning of the universe.<\/p>\n
