I know you've been here, everyone has at least once...
If you can't sleep tonight,
then don't!
Worry not because tonight is one of those timeless nights that never begin or end, you only slip in and out of them.
Tarry here awhile then in between the sun scaped lands of your waking world. Listen to the secrets the night breezes whisper as they pass over ponds of water and cool your skin.
Stand outside and relish the blazing star fire that heats your skin with a cold burning.
Turn your eyes away from the shadows of the world and lift up your chin to gaze at the wonderfully pure reflection of the sun shining with a silver flare off the landscape of the moon.
Tonight dance with faeries on shadowed lanes, and run with the deer under old oak trees. Dip your toes into waters with ripples laced with white fire.
On nights like this when you can slip into the ancient lands do not fear getting lost, because when you enter the timeless realm that tonight has given you, there is no where to go, no place to be, and no reason to be there. It is truly a chance for you to just Be.
Walk the paths in the fields of wheat, watch as the wind blows them in the moonlight, and as it seems you about to lose yourself in the feeling that you are in the middle of an endless ocean, reach down. Feel the wheat pass through your fingers as you walk.
Truly, this is life.
Hear the ocean waves in the distance and go to them. Remember your love for the sea and long for it as an imprisoned man longs for freedom. Remember with fondness the crash of the waves and the ocean swells as an exiled king remembers his kingdom.
And when you gaze at the million pieces of silver fire that the stars and moon paint over the ever moving body of endless water remember those nights of distant youth in another life, when you would swim naked at night with your lover.
In a night like tonight remember how it felt when you orbitted a universe of stars, until at last you became a star and landed here on earth.
Go to the mirror and light a candle, look with unblinking eyes at the face you perceive, and watch how the universe observes you from behind those eyes.
Indeed, you are a extraordinary expression of the universe. Never doubt in your heart this joy and bliss that you have in existing.
Listen to the night, now that the sounds of living have died down. Do you hear that magical hum? The hum and vibration of all things? That devine song and essence. Look around with your eyes open and for once see how everything around is in constant joy and praise. Observe the dance and song of the love for existence.
Here tonight, this timeless night when you could not sleep, answer the call of yourself. Go out and experience the true magic. Go out and meet the universe, Go out and meet God, Go out and meet yourself.
The true magic of timeless moments is that they never end nor begin, and you can return to them at any time, or perhaps it is they that return to you. In any case grasp firmly this thought and idea and take refuge in these places.
If you question where you should build a temple for the glory of God, then I tell you it is here, away from the blaspheming lips, and treacherous eyes of disbelievers. Here lovers, in paradise.
