Fear is the cheapest room in the house.
I would like to see you living
In better conditions…
I should not make any promises right now,
But I know that if you
Pray
Somewhere in this world
Something good will happen.
God wants to see
More love and playfulness in your eyes
For that is your greatest witness to him…
Hafiz
ala Daniel Landinsky

When we live in fear
We live in the poorest part of the soul
That impoverished place
Where hate and anger, resentment and cruelty dwell
We live in the squalor of our own garbage
Our insecurities,
Our failures
Our lack of hope, and love, and joy
There are those who would exile us there
In that foul place
Who would use power and wealth
To oppress our hearts
And leave us stumbling and broken.
Into dark and dirty streets
There is only one way out.
Only one
Love
Love not as feeling
Nor as some sort of chemical connection
But the love that comes from Love
From that one who is love
And who pours love into our souls
Bringing light and joy
Into the dark corners
So let us trust in love.
Have faith in its power.
And dance freely along
Streams of cool water that refresh our souls
Let us lift our voices in song and prayer.
For love and joy
Are our greatest witness
