  10. CandleImageNo, the journey doesn’t end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take.
    The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.
    White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.

  13. CandleImageI weave a silence on to my lips
    I weave a silence into my mind
    I weave a silence within my heart
    I close my ears to distractions
    I close my eyes to attractions
    I close my heart to temptations
    Calm me as You stilled the storm
    Still me, keep me from harm
    Let all the tumult within me cease
    Enfold me, Beloved, in your peace.
