–Ali Darwish, Egypt
Or
He went out of the room in which he was praying. He spent there years and years.
He seemed as if he just came out of the depth of an ocean,
or out of the heart of a pearl,
or out of the core of mercy,
or out of the arms of a mother,
He stood and looked around him, what he saw made him return to his room and close the door behind him.
