Open yourself to the Light!
Hold back nothing,
Trust in the Light.

while the other brings us joy. I choose joy.

giving them power over us:
power over our sleep, our appetites,
our blood pressure, our health, and our happiness.

Our hate is not hurting them at all,
but our hate is turning our own days
and nights into a hellish turmoil.
