" In the early morning hour, just before dawn,

lover and beloved awake

to take a drink of water.

 

She asks, " Do you love me or yourself more?

Really, tell me the absolute truth. "

 

He says, " there is nothing left of me

I'm like a ruby held up to the sunshine.

Is it still a stone, or a world made of redness?

It has no resistance to sunlight "

 

The ruby and the sunrise are one.

Be courageous and discipline yourself.

 

Completely become hearing and ear,

and wear this sun-ruby as a earring.

 

Work. Keep digging your well.

Don't think about getting off from work.

Water is there somewhere.

 

Submit to a daily practice.

Your loyalty to that is a ring on the door.

 

Keep knocking, and the joy inside will eventually open a

window and look out to see who is there.

 

Yesterday the beauty of early dawn

came over me , and I wondered who

my heart would reach toward.

Then this morning again and you.

 

Who am I? Wind and fire and watery ground

move me mightily because they're pregnant with love, love

pregnant with God.

These are the early morning generations I praise. "
