I've been of two minds,One mind: oil,
the other other: water.
I could absorb you, surround you, bathe you,
baptize you;
I could wash you away.
I could anoint you,
make you my priest, my king;
I could let you slip through my fingers.
I could set you on fire.
Some fires consume.
Some melt.
Some purify.
Some forge two metals together.
What God has joined together,
let no man separate.
What is done,
let it not be undone.
What is formed out of dust and ash,
let it not be burned up,
let it not be washed away.
