The Light

\nfree,

\nwe would
\nbear our Light
\nas a Gift
\nto every

\nwhen I reviewed,
\nfor the
\nthousand-and-first
\ntime,
\nmy lack of
\nqualifications and

\nfailures,<\/p>\n

and reminded me
\nthat as

\nas the review of
\nmy obvious
\nunsuitability

if I could
\nput it aside for
\nlong enough to
\nhand deliver a
\nGift or two,<\/p>\n

if, say,
\nI was able
\nto stage even
\na tiny
\ndemonstration of
\nthe Light of
\nloving another as
\nI love myself,<\/p>\n

the subject of
\nmy unsuitability for
\nGift giving
\nwould probably
\nnever
\ncome up.<\/p>\n
