How sweet it was for me to be rid of those fruitless joys which I had once feared to loose..........
You drove them from me, you who are true, the soverign joy.
You drove them from me and took their place, you who are sweeter than all pleasure, though not to flesh and blood, you who outshine all light, yet are hidden deeper than any secret in our hearts, you who surpass all honor, though not in the eyes of men who see all honor in themselves..........
O Lord, my God, my Light, my Wealth, and my Salvation.........
Aureeelius Augustine: Confessions, IX, 1
Shalom y'all
