Sweeping The Chimney of My Heart
"It's time,"said The Beloved,as we were out for a morning jog,"It's time to divestyourself of the sad virusyou've carefully concealedand carriedfor so long.""But how?", I puzzled."By no longer running from Mein every face you see,every leaf on every tree,and the pileof clothes on your bedroom floor.Let the breath of the Heart focusthe le
