I. by EMERALD
This is a howling prayer in the night, a psalm, a spiritual offering, the heart bent forward, eyes turned low. Thirst downwards. Sink deeply into Her eyes, into Her luminous darkness, forgetting all things, abandoning all definitions...here, may all things, all divisions, all borders disappear until all that is left is Love.
