"... here is the deepest secret

- ( here is the root of the root

 and the bud of the bud 

and the sky of the sky 

of a tree called life;

 which grows higher

 than the soul can hope

 or mind can hide ) -















- and this is the wonder

 that's keeping the stars apart

 I carry your heart

(i carry it in my heart). "

                           e.e. cummings 
                                                 (1894 - 1962)














" None of you 
really has faith 
unless he desires 
for his neighbor 
what he 
desires for himself."
     Prophet Muhammad
