For TRUTH WORKS - using the picture script as metaphor-portal:

I see a cupboard or window
awaiting its unlocking
by the approaching priests and priestesses.
What do they seek?
What time of year / universe is it,
that that which abides in its hiding place
must now be revealed?
Ah -
The Inner Self.
It's Time.

The spirit speaks to us the TRUTH that is hidden behind all the logic that keeps us from living together equally as CHILDREN OF GOD...
