Those who do not understand I will need to leave behind. But that time is not now.

God says... don't say it, there will come a time and a place, but not yet.

    Ghazal 314
    by Rumi

    You who are not kept anxiously awake for love's sake, sleep on.
    In restless search for that river, we hurry along;
    you whose heart such anxiety has not disturbed, sleep on.
    Love's place is out beyond the many separate sects;
    since you love choosing and excluding, sleep on.
    Love's dawn cup is our sunrise, his dusk our supper;
    you whose longing is for sweets and whose passion
    is for supper, sleep on.
    In search of the philosopher's stone, we are melting like copper;
    you whose philosopher's stone is cushion and pillow, sleep on.
    I have abandoned hope for my brain and head; you who wish for
    a clear head and fresh brain, sleep on.
    I have torn speech like a tattered robe and let words go;
    you who are still dressed in your clothes, sleep on.

    you whose heart such anxiety has not disturbed, sleep on.

    Beautiful, beautiful lines!

    How I wish I could sleep! :p (But not really...)
