Thou wilt open my heart


Thou wast walking in thy ways, a vagabond,
straying through wooded places,
through rough places, torn in all thy limbs.
Thou wast seeking a home,
that is, a sort of settlement of the spirit,
where thou mightest say, it is well;
and might say this in security,
at rest from all uneasiness,
from every trial,
in a word from every captivity;
and thou didst not find it.
What shall I say?
Did one come to show thee the way?
There came to thee the Way itself...
-St. Augustine
