More to religion
than pleasing
your imaginary friend

When I know who I am and believe in myself,
every breath of life is sacrament.
When I know who I am and believe in myself,
every human being is filled with God.
When I know who I am and believe in myself,
only things of beauty exist.
When I know who I am and believe in myself,
music speaks with the soft and gentle beauty that is silence.
When I know who I am and believe in myself,
words become positive and reinforcing.
When I know who I am and believe in myself,
feelings are as strong as God, who created them for me.
When I know who I am and believe in myself,
silence becomes the golden strength of hearing.
When I know who I am and believe in myself,
the sacrament of life is hearing the silence, and,
When I know who I am and believe in myself,
every breath of silence is the sacrament of life.
Maybe I should just keep quiet.
