Come to think of it, when have you ever seen the following?
A square leaf
A square fruit
A square tree
A square raindrop
Coming to think of it, nature, unlike man, does not produce
Square moons
Square suns
Square planets
Or square galaxies
There are no square rainbows
Nor square flowers
Nor square heads
that could fit inside a square box
Yet more often than not, that’s exactly what we do.
We try to put everything inside a box
We try to make all things black and white
We try to make everything spic and span
as though we could put a square peg inside a round hole
and then congratulate ourselves for the feat we have done
Since the dawn of man-made technology,
we have certainly lived in a world of squares:
square houses
square buildings
square computer screens
We write on square papers using square tables
We sleep on square beds and enter upon square doors
Where has all these taken us?
These square things have made a war with our own hearts
And against all mysteries that enrich and empower us
The next time someone tries to put your immortal soul inside a small box
Kindly remind yourself:
There are no square stars in the Universe.
Find hope in your darkest hour.
