"O Thou, Who art exempt from ‘us’ and ‘we’ Who pervadest the spirits of all men and women; When man and woman become one, thou art that one. When their union is dissolved, lo Thou abidest. Thou hast made these ‘us’ and ‘we’ for that purpose To wit, to play chess with them by thyself."
Rumi

January 1, 1970
