Written: January 27, 2024 ________________________________________ "Remember, the entrance door to the sanctuary is inside you. Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open? Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking". Oh, a flimsy state over grief, issues, and dualism. How do I find the inner sanctum of nihilism? As the guillotine of deceit hangs in plain sight, How tempting are laziness, ease, and blight? True divine tandem can occur at a sacred site. An inner haven as you dwell in glory and light Yield the path to connecting with the infinite. In an inner sanctum, calm flows over divine might. Bewilderment seems sporadic at first glance. Once you've linked culprits, anguish may trance. I succumb when the climate renders them unwell. Cluttered mounds of breadcrumbs lead to a swell. Ascending free from ominous pits of dread, Seeking trust across awareness lies ahead. Sensing the heavenly spark that will soothe, Illuminating the path leading to the truth.   Stillness enhances your perception of taste. Find the light; the climate seems to be quaint. How subtly do things reverse disastrous? I often fall into that abyss, myself in vastness. The stain of low scorn darkens in midst of trust. I stroll into the dismal clay of scarlet excess dust. The ruthless grasp buried inside suffocates life. In empathy, I endure the agonizing pains of strife. Invest oneself in each mission and excursion. These wonderful events allow for sensations. Mercury is in and out of phase, as is the moon. Be mindful of your tongue. The lips are strewn. Flawed sensory acumen of a stray mind, uncovers a spiritual path within a gild divined. The inner sanctum door unlocks at that sight. While the tulip blossoms with glorious light. The soul sparkles with astral splendor and sequins. In a hallowed realm, where rays serve as beacons In my self-searching dedication toward eternity. Inward cosmic trends enrich my trust earnestly.

Dear Sotto, Congrats!! I’m deeply moved by the exploration of the human condition and our spiritual journey. I love how you invite us to embark on a journey of self-discovery, break free from the shackles of fear and doubt, and find inner sanctuary. You end on a hopeful note, with the soul sparkling “with astral splendor and sequins” in a beautiful metaphor for enlightenment and spiritual awakening, leaving us with a sense of peace and optimism. – Blessings, Daniel
