breathe in + breathe out * logion 104 They said to Yeshua, “Come, let’s fast and pray.” He said to them, “Have I sinned? Have I been overcome? No, only when the bridegroom leaves the bridal chamber, will it be time to fast and pray.” ** Don’t you see?

breathe in + breathe out * logion 96 The Father’s realm can be compared to a woman who takes a tiny bit of yeast, folds it into dough and makes great loaves of bread out of it. Whoever has ears for this, listen! ** Come, Grandmothers Come, Grandfathers Bundles of magic and hoops of willow Yeast in a small pouch Herbs Water + Fire Fold into me Desire for secret knowledge Knead me Work me and Let me rest I don’t want to eat these systems’ garbage anymore I only want sunlight and water I want to be the bread Creator, Tunkashila Christ and Holy Mother May it be so

breathe in + breathe out * logion 92 Seek now, I say, and you will find that for which you search.
