Jalāl ad-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī:

We move in eternal regions, yet

worry about property here.  This is the

prayer of each: You are the source of my

life. You separate essence from mud. You

honor my soul. You bring rivers from the

mountain springs. You brighten my eyes. The

wine you offer takes me out of myself into

the self we share.  Doing that is religion.
