I post this on Facebook a few days ago. When I encountered a friend I rarely see, the father of one of my oldest child's friends, he called me a "heretic" for posting this. He walked away when another friend I said God is bigger than the names we give Him.
Say not, "I have found the one true path of the Spirit!"
Say rather, "I have wonderfully met the Spirit walking on my path."
For the spirit walks upon all paths.
~Kahlil Gibran
(Richard Rohr adapted this from Kahil Gibran, The Prophet (New York: Alfred a Knopf, 1923), p. 55 in Rohr's book Eager to Love: The Alternative Way of Francis of Assisi.)
