Religion of Love

a journal for those who go “whatever way Love’s camels take.”

My heart has become capable of every form:

it is a pasture for gazelles and a convent for Christian monks,

And a temple for idols and the pilgrim’s Kaʿbah

and the tables of the Torah and the book of the Qur’an.

I follow the religion of Love: whatever way Love’s camels take,

that is my religion and my faith.

—Ibn al-ʿArabī, Tarjumān al-ashwāq (Interpreter of Desires), transl. Reynold A. Nicholson
