"This world's existence is one night long...." - Quote by Rumi
This world's existence is one night long. There's a great lively gathering that night, but some people sleep through it.

More on Life
“And how much better to die in all the happy period of undisillusioned youth, to go out in a blaze of light, than to have your body worn out and old and illusions shattered.”
“Nothing, in all of the Universe is more delicious than to be in this physical body allowing the fullness that is you to be present in the moment.”
“What life half gives a man, posterity gives entirely.”
More on Awareness
“When your attention moves into the Now, there is an alertness. It is as if you were waking up from a dream, the dream of thought, the dream of past and future. Such clarity, such simplicity. No room for problem-making. Just this moment as it is.”
“Create a gap of no-mind in which you are highly alert and aware but not thinking. This is the essence of meditation.”
“We manage to swallow flesh, only because we do not think of the cruel and sinful thing we do.”
