“We must give our children back their ability to see the divine; we must help them to return to their original innocence where they saw God everywhere they look.

They saw the divine in the flowers and the insects of the world, they saw God in the animals and the clouds, and we have stolen that ability from them, give it back to them!

Tell them they do not have to wait for an afterlife to experience the divine, because the divine is here with us, within each of us and all around us.
Can’t you see?”

“Uski Aankhen

masoom bache si muskurati,
kabhi shararti si apni hi dhun mein gunn gunati.

kisi ke ishq mein sitaron si chamakti,
toh kabhi dard se bhar kar khoob chalakti.

chup chaap khoi si, har pal jaise kuch dhoondti,
lafzon se parda karti, phir bhi sab kuch bolti.

aaine sa sacha bayaan hai,
yeh aankhein uski rooh ki zaabaan hai”
― Henna Sohail

― Maria Teresa Quevedo
