The dust of many crumbled cities settles over us like a forgetful doze,
but we are older than those cities…
Humankind is being led along an evolving course,
through this migration of intelligences,
and though we seem to be sleeping,
there is an inner wakefulness that directs the dream
and that will eventually startle us back to the truth of who we are.
— Rumi
