Arise, my heart. Don’t look down, no matter the pains that surround me.
\nShine, my heart. Cast the beacon of your feelings on all that arises within me.
\nYour light has come, my heart. The sympathy you seek is here within me.
\nYou are an honour to creation, my heart. You bring honour to my creation, my heart.<\/p>\n

I looked to you with faith, my heart. Look with faith at me.
\nI shone my faith at you my heart. Shine at me with faith.
\nI sought you as goodness, my heart. Seek me with goodness too.
\nI yearn to honour all your whims, my heart. In this I honour me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
