gentler selves

gentler selves

more at peace within

accepting of darkness

and imperfection

more at ease in their bodies

and aware of their own skin

as their only true covering

are slower to anger or judgment

quicker to forgive

to allow compassion

which nourishes peace

cover

 ‘each person wears only

his own skin’ is not gospel

among fashion designers

but does sum up the reality

of our moment

at the pearly gates
