If you knew Who walks beside you on this way to Light which you have chosen, fear would be impossible.

You do not know because the journey into darkness has been long and cruel, and you have gone deep into it.

You go toward love, still hating it and terribly afraid of its judgment upon you.

And you do not realize that you are not afraid of love, but only of what you have made of it.

You are advancing to love’s meaning and away from all illusions in which you have surrounded it.

You who hold each other’s hand in your relationship is this world’s light.
