DAY 2513: You wake up at midnight and can't go back to sleep. What do you do?

Midnight Prayer

"O Lord, I have turned my face unto Thy kingdom of oneness and am immersed in the sea of Thy mercy. O Lord, enlighten my sight by beholding Thy lights in this dark night, and make me happy by the wine of Thy love in this wonderful age. O Lord, make me hear Thy call, and open before my face the doors of Thy heaven, so that I may see the light of Thy glory and become attracted to Thy beauty.

Verily, Thou art the Giver, the Generous, the Merciful, the Forgiving."

'Abdu’l-Bahá1

In the Midnight Hour

In the midnight hour
when sleep evades my busy mind,
and my eyelids open
to stare at the ceiling
or out the window,
my soul seeks communion
with the eternal Beloved.

I turn of the light,
open my prayer book
and intone the Midnight Prayer.
