and Fellow Believers,
I have a great joy
to share with you
in this, most likely,
the last letter from me.
I have to face the Council
early tomorrow morning.
I was among them,
learned with them.
I was one of them.
One of the Selects.
But, denying who I was, I am
is never easy for me.
I have only
One face.
One with many emotions,
ones I never fear to show.
I faced them.
I faced their faces.
Yes … Faces.
Masked ones.
Protected ones.
Challenged them
with my naked face.
Some of you may know
the masks of fear
I put before I met
The Teacher.
The fear of loosing
all my works,
all my achievements,
all my so called friends,
because of what I am.
“If any one of you is without sin,
let him be the first to throw a stone at her.”
His words shattered all my fears,
my world was changed,
NO … I was changed.
I was, I am accepted as I am.
He was crucified.
The One
with Divine Compassion
was crucified.
I’ll see him again soon.
Please, forgive Saul.
My beloved Saul.
I know that
he played a big part
on my trial tomorrow.
If any of you
have a chance to
meet him in the
blanket of the night,
tell him that
“We will always have Damascus.”
Forgive him …
as The Teacher forgives
and keeps on forgiving
any Persecutors of Love
and Truth.
