What is praised is one, so the praise is one too, many jugs being poured

into a huge basin. All religions, all this singing, one song.

The differences are just illusion and vanity. Sunlight looks slightly different

on this wall than it does on that wall and a lot different on this other one, but

it is still one light. We have borrowed these clothes, these time-and-space personalities,

from a light, and when we praise, we pour them back in.
