BellaDharma “Go gently into the night. For many are the people who wait to get what they might. Go gently into the storm. For clouds & darkness hide from your eyes, Life’s true form. Go softly down the street. Because even shadows speak, come out of hidden corners to meet. Go lightly into the dawn. Watching the brightening colors then all your fears will be gone.”
