You've read where it says that Lovers pray constantly.
Once a day, once a week, five times an hour, is not enough.
Fish like we are need the ocean around them.
Do camel-bells say, Let's meet again Thursday night? Ridiculous.
They jingle together continuously, talking while the camel walks.
Do you pay regular visits to yourself?
Don't argue, or answer rationally.
Let us die, and dying reply.
Rumi
