One of my favorite riddles goes something like this:
What does an insomniac, agnostic, dyslexic do?
(see the end of the post for the answer, if you haven't guessed)
Clue: A little dog, by the name of Mini-me, yapping in the neighboring yard set me to thinking about the many me's, - the infinite manifestations of Ik Onkar, of whom we are all part and participle. One formless, creative, essence whose inventive and productive personality, with meditative focus, brought into being all of existence in an out pouring of prolific, unending, fruitful, fertility.

"By His creative power, He assumes numerous forms in an instant." SGGS||519
It may be a bit backwards, but reflecting on a dog's name led to contemplating both God's name and bountiful disposition. The giver, the source of all resources, the plentiful replenisher, fulfiller, and refiller of all depletions, is the ultimate eliminator of all emptinesses.

"Contemplating and meditating on my God, I obtain all the fruits." SGGS||519
Answer: Stays up all night, wondering, if there is a... god.
I sometimes can't sleep at night, and I'm sometimes dyslexic, especially when sleepy, or tired. But I don't wonder whether, or if, there is a..., I simply marvel in wonder, at the wonder of God.
