A rowboat, a harbor, a small island. The village behind, the landing ahead.

I came here to be alone with you, Lord, yet I look behind, hoping others will set out to join me.

The light, my home and duty, looms as I approach. Day upon day, alone will I o’erwatch.

You are with me as I set out, with me as I row, with me as I alone inhabit this tower. You are the protector of the protector, I live in love and grace.

As night falls and the light shines, let me give thanks. The beam is love, the beam is you, I am you.

(Letter #2,848)
