One night on a tape
I heard
The lately deceased Benedictine monk
Dom Bede Griffiths
Tell a story

About a missionary
In South India
Who asked a group of school-children
The question "Where is God to be found?"

All the Christians among them
Pointed up in the sky

But those who were Hindu
All pointed
At their hearts.
