Only the high priest could enter,
only one day a year,
only after admitting his unworthiness,
only in vulnerability
could he meet God's heart.
We are not god and priest,
but we carry the divine spark
but we carry the divine spark
and I ask you,
before approaching my heart.
to enter meekly,
confess your weakness
as I reveal my own.
as I reveal my own.

Wow.
That's all, my friend. Wow.
This is truly excellent. I almost feel like stealing it to use as an intro for some of my own pieces.
It reminds me of something CS Lewis once said -
"Apart from the Blessed Sacrament iteself, your neighbor is the holiest thing that will ever be presented to your senses. . ."
(From The Weight of Glory)
What a gorgeous, gorgeous piece!
Beautiful. If only everyone was so honorable in their approach and their intentions.
Its more comfortable to be with humans than with gods...
Beautiful...
Relationships would be the best thing if entered into this way.. very well said!

Sometimes to protect the heart we have to use our gut.
Meekly. Yes, most of us can work on this one. Thanks for the reminder.
