Rose and Jasmine

There are as many paths to God,
As there are souls on earth.

Therefore I say, “This is my experience,
Not to be confused with “Truth’.”

Therefore I say, “I went this way,”
Not, “This is The way.”

Therefore I say, “For me, Love sufficed,”
Not, “For all, Love suffices.”

Therefore I say, “I know only this,”
Not, “I have the answer.”

Therefore I say, “These are my words,”
Not, “Speak this way.”

Each flower emanates a fragrance,
Unique unto its kind.

And In all my life I have never seen,
A Rose at war with Jasmine.
