Silent Light 

Hello silence, my old friend.
It's good to embrace you

connecting to the prophet within.

Listening, learning, loving,

Pride dies, only to come back a little weaker next round, like a cat wit...

Echoes of Life

What are the chances 

of two lost souls 

light-years apart

colliding twice in life?

Astronomical. Yes!

The dance is sweeter, 

with ego out of the way. 

All that remains is love

purified by the same rock-bottom

pressure that turns grains of sand into

pearls, coal into diamonds. 

Not lustful love, agape. 

Godly, unconditional love for humanity. 

Forgiving. Acce...
