48. In His shadow

I wish to live in His shadow.
Why?
Because His heart of deeds
Gets priority
Over His mind of thoughts.

I wish to live in His shadow.
Why?
Because His one single smile
Is fraught with more meaning
Than
All the sermons of the world collected together.

I wish to live in His shadow.
Why?
Because His Silence is the Source
Of my countless freedom-deeds.
