I went to see Depeche Mode in concert on December 10th and during the show the words of this poem, from 'The Gift' by Daniel Ladinksy, came up on the screen. I'm not a religious person but can really appreciate the words expressed here:
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 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.
