and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

you start becoming drunk with the divine.
That is what is called ecstasy.

where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.

that recognizes the equality of all,
and pays honor to the sacredness of interconnection.

in front of the heart and bow the head slightly.
