That would be wonderful indeed. I hope you're right...

how did I ruin Rumi's poem?

2nd try:

Only Breath

Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu
Buddhist, sufi, or zen. Not any religion

or cultural system. I am not from the East
or the West, not out of the ocean or up

from the ground, not natural or ethereal, not
composed of elements at all. I do not exist,

am not an entity in this world or in the next,
did not descend from Adam and Eve or any

origin story. My place is placeless, a trace
of the traceless. Neither body or soul.

I belong to the beloved, have seen the two
worlds as one and that one call to and know,

first, last, outer, inner, only that
breath breathing human being.

Rumi

before we recognize the inevitability of our path to enlightenment, what sort of developments in what kind of fields are most in need do you think?

Will physics have any sort of roll in this, or will this be strictly the social or developmental sciences?

do all paths lead to realization?
