...to be filled with abundance.
Please listen to my lament. See whether these words may open and bloom, turning into a beautiful song. I am tired, oh so tired, like a dry river who’s given all his water to the thirst sea. The snow will melt and the rains will return, but there’s little I can do to hasten them along. Night after night I pray, opening my heart to the stars above. In the wind I feel the hand of God slowly moving water this way.
