I am from Kashan,
I am doing fine:
make a modest living,
have some wits, some talent.
I have a mother better than blooming green leaves
And honest friends,
clear like waterfalls of some remote corners of this earth.
And I have a God,
A God who lives close-by my house,
Between these oleanders in the garden,
Or on the face of the water in the pool
Or in the veins of the trees.
I am a Muslim
My qiblah is a rose
My prayer book is as vast as the arms of rivers,
As bright as the face of the sun.
And I pray over the expansion of the meadow.
-- From Sohrab Sepheri's "The Footsteps of Water"
