The Sanctuary
It could be said that God’s foot is so vast
that this entire earth is but a
field on His toe,
and all the forests in this world
came from the same root of just
a single hair of His.
What then is not a sanctuary?
Where then can I not kneel
and pray at a shrine
made holy by His presence?
St. Catherine of Siena (1347 – 1380)
I Had to Seek the Physician
I had to seek the physician
Because of the pain this world
caused me.
I could not believe what happened when I got there.
I found my Teacher.
Before I left, he said,
“Up for a little homework, yet?”
“Okay,” I replied.
“Well then, try thanking all the people
who have caused you pain.
They helped you come to me.”
Kabir (c. 1440 – 1518)
