Shampoo and Soap

  
    If shampoo and soap 
      could wash away
    the sins I may commit today

    I’d stand for hours
      beneath a shower
    Anything so as not to pray

Sara Etgen-Baker Date: 9/11/2025 4:49:00 PM I suppose we all look for the 'easy' way...wash, rinse, repeat is what the ego wants not humility and prayer. Good one, Gershon.

Perhaps, if I had a cleanser, a Wow rinser, I might find my thoughts in a bind beneath the Wow that is all my mind has Now.

Joe Dimino Date: 9/11/2025 6:39:00 AM Wash away prayer as well -- difficult to be humble, for ego to bow before anything...even God. When will we learn?! Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 9/11/2025 6:47:00 PM When we're so old that even our egos have faded away.
