There is a great beauty in it. The author talks of the bridge, the intersection within his heart between Christianity and Sufism.
I wish I felt anything like this.
After certain events - how can I put this - cracked me down through the spine, I still stood; but for the life of me I couldn't tell you how, or even where I was standing. At the time I called for help, all my spiritual studies fell away like shells and the darkness took over; it hasn't left. But it can be quite a warm, merry darkness!
Still, you can't stand in the dark forever, you have to travel; and I like travelling.
These roads through the red and the black are interesting. But for the life of me I see no direction and don't know how to find one.
