Listen, my heart: love God ceaselessly As the fish loveth water: The deeper the water The happier and more tranquil the fish. God alone knoweth the suffering Of fish separated from the waters.
Tonight's rain is a tenderness. I can guess from walking in it, touching it; but now I think I know its other dimension, can almost "hear" its sound, tonight close to silence.
