While we're on poetry...

One of my ultimate favs...

Are you looking for me?
I am in the next seat.
My shoulder is against yours.
You will not find me in the stupas,
not in Indian shrine rooms, nor synagogues,
nor in cathedrals; not in masses, nor kirtans,
not in legs winding around your own neck,
nor in eating nothing but vegetables,
When you really look for me, you will see me instantly
— you will find me in the tiniest house of time.
Kabir says: Student, tell me, what is God?

He is the breath inside the breath.

- Kabir
