The Gardens Of Light

'Observe the watermelon. Your eyes rejoice in its colour, your nose in its discreet aroma, your hand caresses its firm, smooth skin. You do not need to drink at the same time , for it contains it's liquid within it. You do not need to rest it on a plate, as it ripens and offers itself in its own receptacle. Begin at the extremities, then approach the heart, and every mouthful will bring you nearer to the Gardens of Light'.

Absolutely delicious book on the life of Prophet Mani, The Gardens of Light by Amin Maalouf, really beautiful book, you must read it.
