Don't Go Back to Sleep

9/14/2022

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, before alarm clocks were invented, many workers in Britain were woken by the sound of a tapping at their bedroom window. People known as "knocker-uppers" were paid to stroll around cities and wake people up, using long sticks, rattles, or pea shooters. The big question is, who woke up the knocker-uppers?
“The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don't go back to sleep. You must ask for what you really want. Don't go back to sleep. People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch. The door is round and open. Don't go back to sleep.” - Rumi
Prayer: Infinite Presence, “Awaken me. Come, meet me in the garden of my life. Lure me into elation. Revive my silent hope. Coax my dormant dreams. Roll back the stone of my indifference. May I become ever more convinced that your presence lives on. Awaken me!” – Joyce Rupp, Out of the Ordinary
