“This is Your law, my Father, not my own. I did not understand what
giving means, and thought to save what I desired for myself alone. And
as I looked upon the treasure that I thought I had, I found an empty
place where nothing ever was, or is or will be. Who can share a dream?
And what can an illusion offer me? Yet he whom I forgive will give me
gifts beyond the worth of anything on earth. Let my forgiven brothers
fill my store with Heaven’s treasures, which alone are real. Thus is the
law of love fulfilled. And thus Your Son arises and returns to You.”

How near we are to one another, as we go to God. How near is He to us.
How close the ending of the dream of sin, and the redemption of the Son
of God.
