Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu br Buddhist, sufi, or zen. Not any religion br br or cultural system. I am not from the East br or the West, not out of the ocean or up br br from the ground, not natural or ethereal, not br composed of elements at all. I do not exist, br br am not an entity in this world or in the next, br did not descend from Adam and Eve or any br br origin story. My place is placeless, a trace br of the traceless. Neither body or soul. br br I belong to the beloved, have seen the two br worlds as one and that one call to and know, br br first, last, outer, inner, only that br breath breathing human being.
