The lotus of the soul

[changeling]

Say not, “I have found the truth,” but rather, “I have found a truth.”
Say not, “I have found the path of the soul.” Say rather, “I have met the soul walking upon my path.”
For the soul walks upon all paths.
The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed.
The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.

The Prophet, Kahlil Gibran

I must say that I prefer the first line out of all. It makes the most profound sense to me. Then again, I care little for the soul.

I'm not sure I have anything in common with someone who "doesn't care" for the soul.
