Don't go outside your house to see the flowers.
My friend, don't bother with that excursion.
Inside your body there are flowers.
One flower has a thousand petals.
That will do for a place to sit.
There you will glimpse beauty
inside the body and out of it,
before gardens and after gardens. - Kabir
Two things make up spirituality for me: inner strength and love.
Inner strength is a confidence in one's integrity, that the answers are there inside if we only stop long enough to listen. Love is the way. Without love there is only fear, and the more we give love, the more we know it.
I'm not sure that I agree with Kabir about not bothering with alternatives, but this photograph represents one way in which I find both strength and love, and the strength to love.
It is not about religion. Religion is a concept that I cannot grasp ...
