A mirror to the power that created the universe.

Whatever you’re looking for can only
be found inside of you.

if you are always flying off to blue perfection?
Where will you plant your grief seeds?
Workers need ground to scrape and hoe,
not the sky of unspecified desire.

where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don’t go back to sleep.
— Rumi

I have come to drag you out of yourself
and take you in my heart.
I have come to bring out the beauty
you never knew you had,
and lift you like a prayer to the sky.
