garments of love

Let us come together in prayer….

We are fashioned by the winds of circumstance,

We are fashioned by the winds of regret and loss.

We have clothed ourselves in the victories we fought for,

We have clothed ourselves in the losses which we hide from others.

The masks we wear hide the pain and sorrow,

They adorn the self we project to the world…

Be careful you don’t project hostility, anger, and jealousy….

Tread carefully that your ways don’t disturb the paths of others…..
Tread carefully that your ways do disturb the paths of those who cause harm.....

Too often in this world, we wish to make our mark,

Make our stamp of success.

Too often we think of ourselves and only ourselves….

The image of the self is perfect.

We find excuses to excuse our ways, so we don’t become responsible,

Are the garments of irresponsibility always in our wardrobe?

Too often we find ourselves lost with other concerns….

But may you adorn yourself with something radical and old.

May you be blessed to know the secret of your being….

That which makes you strive forward each day….

That which makes you bravely bare the whole self to this savage world,

May you have the courage to share your vulnerability…

May you be blessed to have tenderness, kindness, and compassion dressed upon you,

So others will want to be in your presence....

May you be blessed with these garments of love.
