Asleep no more

"Those who don't feel this Love pulling them like a river,
those who don't drink dawn like a cup of spring water or take in sunset like supper,
those who don't want to change, let them sleep.
This Love is beyond the study of theology, that old trickery and hypocrisy.
If you want to improve your mind that way, sleep on.
I've given up on my brain. I've torn the cloth to shreds and thrown it away.
If you're not completely naked, wrap your beautiful robe of words around you, and sleep."
~ Rumi

I Am asleep no more...
Thank you, God
Thank you, terror
Thank you, pain
Thank you, sorrow
Thank you, anger
Thank you, grief
Thank you, messengers of light
Thank you, disillusionment
Thank you, healers of my heart
Thank you, peace
Thank you, God, I am asleep no more
I Am awake.

(Thoughts inspired by the song of Alanis Morissette, Thank U.
A song that I let wash over me in times of tremendous upheaval. The truth of which brought me hope and finally peace.)
