(( I hope it reaches you in time )).
I will be who I am, with or without you. But I would rather it be with you.
If you cannot go where I am going, stay where you are – just watch through your telescope.
If you cannot hear my songs, still talk to me about the meaning and grace of music.
But to blind yourself to my life and story, is to put out your own eyes – for fear of the sun.
It is what it is. You neither make it, nor give it light. But understanding -- I will request.
For Peace through Comprehension is a Divine Mission of all humanity.
Without it, we are deaf, dumb and ultimately damned –
-- unable to learn from anything we don’t already think we know.
