Nor yet is every night quite void of power.

Excerpt

There is no fancy in the universe without some truth. Truth is the "night of power " hidden amongst other nights, In order to try the spirit of every night. Not every night is that of power, O youth, Nor yet is every night quite void of power.

✨ To meditate on today

According to Rumi, the Persian Sufi poet, there is nothing in the universe that does not contain some part of truth: truth is hidden among things as the “Night of Power” — the blessed night of Ramadan when the Quran began to be revealed — is hidden among the other nights, so that no night is without worth. This evening, go back over your day, even an ordinary one, and find in it at least one moment of truth or kindness for which you can thank God.
