'The Milky Way is as flotsam
on the vast ocean
of ecstatic love.'
-- Rumi (born Jalal ad-Din
Mohammad Balkhi, 1207-1273)

"We all aspire to the same goal:
to worship God in a way
that satisfies us and that pleases the Lord. Looking at it in this way
provides a basis for all people of faith
to find common cause and find a way
to achieve harmony and to work.
It is like we are all together inside
a big black box
with many pinholes along the exterior.
We look out and see
pinpoints of light shining in.
Each person picks one source of light
and says ' that is the one I follow'.
But outside the box,
there is only one sun shining."
