I divested myself of despair br and fear when I came here. br br Now there is no more catching br one's own eye in the mirror, br br there are no bad books, no plastic, br no insurance premiums, and of course br br no illness. Contrition br does not exist, nor gnashing br br of teeth. No one howls as the first br clod of earth hits the casket. br br The poor we no longer have with us. br Our calm hearts strike only the hour, br br and God, as promised, proves br to be mercy clothed in light.
