Alienation
When I speak, my lips & tongue form the words that are on my mind. These ARE my thoughts, yet they are NOT my thoughts.

Heaven hovers over. It has lofty qualities, a divine atmosphere. It’s a spiritual shelter of continual security, a state above humanity’s most exalted hopes & desires. But the celestial firmament is not a place of rest. Even the angels work. They have their God given assignments.
