‘I’ and ‘you’ focus light
like decorative holes cut
in a lampshade.
But there is only One Light.
‘I’ and ‘you’ throw a
thin veil between
heaven and earth.
Lift the veil and all
creeds and theologies disappear.
When ‘I’ and ‘you’ vanish,
how can I tell whether I am
in a mosque, a synagogue,
a church, or an observatory.
Shabistari - Sufi poet
