Take away the dross from the silver,
and material comes out for the refiner;
Preceding the death of my dad. I think I just needed to witness an example of it up close on a bigger scale. It helped me a lot, I processed his death without getting into any negative elements of the streets. I was in a cottage in Staten Island, NY.

and don’t betray the confidence of another,
