Can you pray without a doctrine,
  can you sing above the choir

Can you cast off earthly burdens,
  can you burn without the fire

Can you give, no longer taking,
  can you welcome strangers in

Can you love beyond all feeling,
—your last words to then forgive

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)
