SO FRAGILE AS WE GROW
 
Someday you will hear all things applaud your wonder.
Life claps in awe of the Divine's performance.
When your veil is removed, you, dear --
you, everyone -- will see
that your being is
Holy.
 
Raising their children is the primary care and purpose
of some -- this is a blessed state,
for an oasis of love
is found in the
desert.
 
The heart only reflects the Sky when it is giving and
compassionate.
Who would want to stand before a mirror that was shattered,
and thus distorts our
beauty
 
that is so fragile
as we grow.
 
An oasis
for all life the soul becomes
when it is unveiled.
 
~ Meister Eckhart ~
