I lay down my burden at your feet, entrusting you to carry it for me. Instead, you turn and lead me away, with my woes in a heap, shrinking away with each step.
I was always this free. Why did I not see?
Lord, what else shall I lay down? You show me freedom after freedom, let me stretch my aching limbs in the sun.
(Letter #2,429)
