logion 104

They said to Yeshua,
“Come, let’s fast and pray.”

He said to them,
“Have I sinned? Have I been overcome?
No, only when the bridegroom
leaves the bridal chamber,
will it be time to fast and pray.”


**

Don’t you see?
Depraved by nature is an excuse
Majesty is the calling

So strip down naked
And see yourself through the eyes of Love
See a friend
See a lover
See possibility

And then dare to get responsible for it all

You’re ready

You’re ready

You’ve been waiting lifetimes for this moment

Show Yourself
