Only Breath - Rumi and Christian

Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu, Buddhist sufi or zen. Not any religion
or cultural system. I am not from the East or the West, not out of the ocean or up
from the ground, not natural or ethereal, not composed of elements at all. I do not exist,
am not an entity in this world or the next, 
did not descend from Adam or Eve or any
origin story. My place is placeless, a trace of the traceless. Neither body or soul.
I belong to the beloved, have seen the two worlds as one and that one call to and know,
first, last, outer, inner, only that
breath breathing human being.

There is a way between voice and presence where information flows.
In disciplined silence it closes.
With wandering walk it opens.
