How To Fall Asleep

I have no idea how to go to heaven. But I do know how to go to sleep. I learned from my cat, who always naps on my shirt, so she can slumber in the kindness and protection of her master's scent. When you fall asleep tonight, just assume that you have lain your head at the feet of your Beloved, and rest in the miracle of this breath. Know that the Beloved is very near, in fact, is the gentle radiance of your heart, who will bless you all through the darkest hours. Remember that each inhalation is the Beloved's gift, and each exhalation is a flower of gratitude, offered back. Drift off into the ocean of Grace. And when you wake up, you will radiate peace. Good night.
