Please Sit<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please Sit
\nIn This Chair
\nI Am
\nOffering You.<\/p>\n

Relax.
\nAllow Me to
\nTake Some of
\nThose Garments
\nYou\u2019re Wearing.<\/p>\n

The Cloak of
\nLaziness
\nYou Imagine
\nBinds You.
\nThe Vest of
\nNarcissism and
\nSelfishness
\nYou\u2019re So
\nAshamed of.
\nYour Habiliment of
\nAlways Taking
\nThe Easy Way Out.<\/p>\n

Now
\nLet\u2019s Look at
\nYou.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re a
\nLight Being,
\na Ray of
\nIllumination
\nfrom the Eternal
\nFlame of
\nLove and
\nLight and
\nLaughter.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t
\nbe Bound by
\nCreed or
\nGreed or
\nFearful Need.<\/p>\n

Just Sit.<\/p>\n

Be.<\/p>\n

If Duty Calls,
\nIf You Must Go,<\/p>\n

I Understand.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Been a Joy
\nSitting With You.<\/p>\n

Before You Rise,
\nI Will Bring You
\nThose Garments
\nYou Were Wearing.<\/p>\n

Do With Them as
\nYou Please.<\/p>\n
