924. A daughter's confessions

```

Father, I confess my insecurity.

Therefore will You not bless me?

“Daughter, I am not a priest.

Therefore I am not entitled

To accept your confession.

But I shall bless you

For something else.”

Father, I confess my jealousy.

Therefore will You not bless me?

“Daughter, I am not a priest.

Therefore I am not entitled

To accept your confession.

But I shall bless you

For something else.”

Father, what is that thing

That You will bless me for?

“Daughter, I shall bless you

Because

You are My own

Searching and struggling,

Aspiring and evolving Self.”

```
