Good morning.

Wake up my sleepy head.

Don't go back to sleep.

Let's awaken today with Rumi.

For the morning breeze has secrets to tell you.

Get up.

Wipe the sleep from your eyes.

Breathe in the wind that lets you live and let it spread its wings of love within you.

Life is dancing around you,

Whispering in your ear.

Are you listening?

Come.

Come.

Whoever you are.

Wanderer,

Worshiper,

Lover,

It doesn't matter.

Come.

Enter the day,

Even if you have broken your vows a thousand times.

Come,

Yet again.

For the day is not a caravan of despair.

Come.

Come.

And enter this day with me.

Let us swim wildly,

Joyously in gratitude.

Let's wear gratitude like a cloak and let it feed every corner of our life.

Today,

There is a candle in your heart,

Ready to be kindled.

There's a void in your soul,

Ready to be filled.

You feel it,

Don't you?

This universe is not outside of you.

Look inside yourself.

Everything that you want,

You are already that.

For you are a mirror,

Reflecting a noble face.

You were born with greatness.

You were born with wings.

You are not meant for crawling.

So don't.

You have wings.

Learn to use them.

And fly.

The garden of the world has no limits,

My love.

Except in your mind.

Come out of the circle of time and into the circle of love.

For every moment of today can be made glorious by the light of love.

Today,

Set your life on fire and seek those that fan your flames.

Respond to every call that excites your spirit.

Let yourself become living poetry.

Don't be satisfied hearing or watching the story of others.

Unfold your own myth.

And today,

Be grateful for whoever comes your way.

For each has been sent as a guide from beyond.

Now,

Go forth into this day,

Confident in your own spirit.

And fly.
