The exposed soul

Hide me in the mantle of your love
wrap me in your blessed darkness;
May my soul be exposed to none but you,
but to you, full exposition

Role models

Posted on September 14, 2020 by Meisaan Chan

and there is nothing better to do than to sit at the feet:
If the source is true, it will let you learn
and lift you lofty up

But careful: It’s not about what is easier
but what is the season

leave your gold at the altar,
right where it belongs
