“The star asked the sky,
“Why do the olive trees
blame the desert roses for drinking the rain,
and why do the desert roses
blame the olive trees
for reaching so deep into the soil?”

The sky replied,
“Because both are longing
for a place to belong, 
yet neither will find peace
in soil or rain alone.
For roots without truth
grow restless,
and religion without love
turns to hate”.

The star whispered,
“Will they ever see the truth?”
The sky looked down at the earth, 
and said,
“Only when they lift their eyes 
to the Prince of Peace.

Only then will they remember:
 they were created
in the same garden.”
