My bread is hunger,
my banner fear,
my clothes are wool,
and my prayer in winter is at sun rise,
and my lamp is the moon.
My ride is my legs, my food and fruit whatever
the earth produces.
I spend the night and have nothing,
I awake in the morning
and have nothing,
and there is no one upon earth
more richer than I
al-Ghazali, Sufi Mystic
