Wear me when moments of uncertainty seem to prevail, so you may feel calmness and serenity instead. It’s within that seekers find the road of purpose, and when the heart speaks, the void of questioning is lit, illuminating the brilliance contained in each being. With clarity and consciousness, your soul rises to fulfill your responsibility of humanness with joy.”
