Immortality's Dance

25 I Am Grateful ...

I AM GRATEFUL

Earth conceals my impurity;

Therefore

I am grateful to earth.

Heaven conceals my insecurity;

Therefore

I am grateful to Heaven.

God conceals my worthlessness;

Therefore

I am grateful to God.

I conceal my desire-night;

Therefore

I am grateful to myself.
