not quite a sufi.
not quite a christian.
not quite a muslim.
not quite a jew.
not quite a buddhist.
not quite a taoist.
not quite an animist.
by birth,
i am no hindu. no jainist.
no zoroastrian. no shintotist.
no confucian.
& yet & yet …
my spirit wends
its human way
between infinities––
navigating by
darkness through the
dark––
empowered by
an open, praying
heart.
