"My heart today accepts now every form"

"I believe in the religion of love, no matter what direction its caravans may take"

Seems to me that sentiments like this throughout the ages are a kind of attempt at a humanistic version of Islam, but that there has always been a tension between this humanism and the rigour and exclusivity of the truth claims that harsh Islam makes.

Ibn Arabi is one of the greatest men that ever lived.

At evening, casual flocks of pigeons make
Ambiguous undulations as they sink,
Downward to darkness, on extended wings. - Stevens

From Wikipedia: "In medieval Europe he was called Doctor Maximus."

Now there's a name worth having.

I remember all the words from the Idries Shah books I used to read obsessively. But to hear it sung in that lovely voice - even when I don't know the language - is too beautiful.

"And you, you are a fantasy, a view from where you'd like to think the world should see, just be true, and you will likely find a few building a vision, doing justice to our times."
Roy Harper, addressing the doorstep evangelists, dawa-doers and other self-appointed representitives.
