My heart has become able To take on all forms...by Ibn Arabi

My heart has become able
To take on all forms.
It is a pasture for gazelles,
For monks an abbey.

It is a temple for idols
And for whoever circumambulates it, the Kaaba.
It is the tablets of the Torah
And also the leaves of the Koran.

I believe in the religion
Of Love
Whatever direction its caravans may take,
For love is my religion and my faith.

~ Ibn Arabi
from Perfect Harmony: (Calligrapher's Notebooks) ,
by Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi
