“I am not Christian or Jew or Muslim,
not Hindu or Buddhist, Sufi or Zen.
Not any religion or cultural system. I
am not from the East or the West,
not out of the ocean or up from the
ground, not natural or ethereal, not
composed of elements at all. I do
not exist. I am not an entity in this
world or the next, did not descend
from Adam or Eve or any origin
story. My place is placeless, a trace
of the traceless. Neither body or
soul. I belong to the beloved, have
seen the two worlds as one and that
one call to and know, first, last,
outer, inner, only that breath
breathing human being. . .”
Mevlana Rumi.
