GLORIA!

Observe

Protect

Scatter

Guard

Mimic

and Smite

We are sent

To do many things

Occasionally we are Called to Save

GLORIA!

They crumble so easily They are fragile, in His shape Clay vessels holding something valuable

Indeed it is a wonder how They are made and how They create

GLORIA!

Sometimes We are commanded to take Their shape

But we never stay for long

After all,

Who can

Understand

Creation

GLORIA!

What does it mean?

To create? To make?

To pretend

To be human

We have only been

Spectators since the beginning

Observant of this small world filled with expression, affection, Kunst

We suppose that

Like the mind of God

It will always be unobtainable

By us

GLORIA!
