			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What ails your heart, O, woman<br />
and what ails your heart, O, man<br />
expectations<br />
that could not be met<br />
needs that could not be satisfied<br />
Did you think that by finding each other,<br />
you could claim back your joy<br />
in the garden of eden?<br />
Did you think that by having found<br />
each other,<br />
you could reunite with your lost half<br />
and finally be complete?<br />
Nay, I say unto you,<br />
for it is not each other that you have lost in the garden<br />
and it is not each half that could<br />
complete your empty soul<br />
It is God's presence that you have lost<br />
and it is only in God<br />
where you can find your bliss<br />
once more.</p>
