>> And I will pave this path with the most delicious care I can offer:
>> the gift of unity, the giving and receiving as one.

>> As I explore the illusion with the curiosity of the Child
>> It shows me that my heart sings the language of unity at all times
>> and that I am here to learn to hear it.
