Dear Muslim friends, if you can't build your mosque
in lower Manhattan, build it here,
in the ground zero of my heart.
Here is infinite, empty, ancient space
to fill with the call of the minaret.
But you will find a Christian church here too,
a Buddhist temple, a shrine to Radha Krishna,
and a sacred tree for the Gods of ancient Ireland.
If you don't mind sharing
the space of compassion,
it's yours"
Thanks Alfred...beautiful thoughts, well said.
ReplyDeleteThere's room for all of us, if we are prepared to commit to sharing that space of compassion.
