This is the only path on which we can proceed with ease. It is the path to the freedom of our soul. Therefore, may we protect ourselves and give love to others. May we protect others as we would protect ourselves, love our neighbors as ourselves, and make all mankind our relatives, our brothers and sisters. May we make everyone our loved ones and help them become those who trust in God. May we all go together on this path as the followers of God, as the representatives of God, as the children of the one Father.

and how very different we’ll appear.

wounds and secrets locked inside us,
protect with such great anxiety day after day,
we’ll disclose freely and clearly down there.

 
Constantine P. Cavafy
