In the early morning hour,just before dawn,
lover and beloved awake and take a drink of water.
She asks, Do you love me or yourself more?
Really, tell me the absolute truth.
He says, There is nothing left of me.
I am like a ruby held up to the sunrise.
Is it still a stone, or a world made of redness? It has no resistance to sunlight.
The ruby and the sunrise are one.
Be courageous and discipline yourself.
Work. Keep digging your well.
Don't think about getting off from work.
Submit to a daily practice.Your loyalty to that is a ring on the door.
Keep knocking, and the joy inside will eventually open a window and look out to see who's there.

on your request..... MortalButMerry
