------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not Christian or Jew
or Muslim, not Hindu,
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,
am not an entity
in this world or the next,
did not descend
from Adam and 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
~ Rumi
