		<title>Hands Off!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wouldn&#8217;t coax the plant if I were you
Such watchful nurturing may do it harm.
Let the soil rest from so much digging
And wait until it&#8217;s dry before you water it.
The leaf&#8217;s inclined to find its own direction;

Question of the day:
What is it to fall into the mystery of God?
The human and the divine co-existing at the same time is real religion. This creates honest people. People who don&#8217;t waste time proving they&#8217;re right, superior, or saved.
They spend time on a journey falling deeper into the mystery of God where they feel [...]]]></description>
