SOFT PILLOWS 42
There's an old French proverb
that goes "There is no pillow so soft
as a clear conscience."
And, it is difficult to have
a clear conscience...
without having a clean conscience
A clear conscience considers thoughts
that uplift while foregoing those thoughts
that would tend to drag down
A clean conscience presses toward
that which is pure while dismissing
thoughts puerile
Clear and clean may sound like
excellent descriptive adjectives for
laundry detergents...
But, clear and clean may also
be excellent indicators of a soul's
worth
May every night find us resting
on soft pillows
