Insomnia

When I am with you, we stay up all night.
When you're not here, I can't go to sleep.
Praise God for those two insomnias!
And the difference between them."

-Rumi

And Love was Our Mother

Love is the path and road of our Prophet.

We were born from love, and love was our mother.

O you who are our mother, you are hidden within veils, 

Concealed from our disbelieving natures. 

Mevlana, Quatrain no.1470
