Allah is like a hawk,
His eyes are drawn to motion.
If you don’t want Him to notice you, do nothing.
If, however, you crave His attention,
if you long for His caresses and His care,
you must move.
You must laugh like an idiot,
dance like a bridegroom,
and sing like a sparrow.
It isn’t piety that will make you irresistible to Allah,
it’s the irrepressible joy found
in simply living your life.
So sing loudly, dance wildly, speak bodly
love wantonly, give generously, pray sincerely
work hard, hug tight, kiss wet.
There’s nothing to be gained
from being small.
God is great—go and be great, too.
