I am ashamed of the weight of apathy
resting on the shoulders of my conscience,
that I may have forgotten kindness
in fleeting moments,
forgotten to open the doors of my smile to you,
to laugh in your laughter,
to burn in your tears

Hmmm mmm. This whole piece was refreshing and enlightening. But this was my favorite part. I wonder to further opens the doors of our consciousness may mean the detachment of our emotions from earthly ties? Yet Jesus wept for Lazarus. Much to ponder. Thank you. :)

Do nominations still matter? Well here I go.
