MYSTICAL POEMS: “In the Garden of Time”
“In the Garden of Time” […..] Some of our deepest wounds, Are judgments, self-inflicted, Endless paper cuts upon our spirit, Made by an inherently imperfect ‘self’, Despising its imperfection.

While we are sleeping
We let go of physicality
To experience our true form
Of Spirit, unlimited and free

With no limits of time or space, Explore our magnificent Universe
