I have learned so much...

    I have learned so much from God
    that I can no longer call myself a Christian,
    a Hindu, a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Jew...

    The Truth has shared so much of Itself
    with me that I can no longer call myself
    a man, a woman, an angel, or even a pure Soul.

    Love has befriended Hafiz so completely
    it has turned to ash and freed me of every
    concept and image my mind has ever known.

Reminda me of the time I asked an electrician in India if he was a Hindu, he replied, "I am Hindu.... Muslim, Christian, everything...." in the kind of way that said "Where is there a line that can be drawn?"
