shadow or substance or Matthew 15:22

i thought of you today, beloved

it has been a while: there is so

much i want to tell you; i want

to tell you that the rhetoric will

fail you: to fight against it: to tell

a different story of the soul and

all its propensities: i know you

think you are right, you were

taught after all it was right but

beloved, it is not, you wrote

            that you remember me

ask yourself why: who is the shadow: what is the substance
