The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don't go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don't go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the doorsill
where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don't go back to sleep.

From: 'Not Intrigued With Evening' by Jelaluddin Rumi

If it takes months or even years to get what you want, keeping your eye on the ball will keep you going. If you don't even know why you're doing something, how can you possibly stay passionate about it?
