Dwelling Place

A heart that bleeds
at a friend's misfortune,

is a soul so pure.

a heart that  gloats
at a friend's misfortune

is a soul so odious.

both good and evil are
conceived in the chambers of the soul.

the one you feed,
makes your soul a dwelling place.

when in doubt,

feed the one that walks with 
kindness, love and peace.
