I came to love you too late, Oh Beauty, so ancient and so new... What did I know? You were inside me, and I was out of my body and mind, looking for you... You called to me and cried to me; you broke the bowl of my deafness; you uncovered your beams, and threw them at me...
You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might pray also in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance.
