My past, could I stand before it?
Error and omission. Shortfalls and striving. I have been a human being, Lord, needy before your power.
Could I have known the peace and ease available even then? My dearest and most intimate Friend, you whisper in my ear that all is well. You have been whispering all along, and only now do I hear.
My brothers and sisters, in woe and gnashing teeth, let me soothe them with the news. They can hear you if they sit still. Perhaps we can listen together.
All is well. All will be well.
(Letter #3,190)
