Rh Lo, these many days have I sought Thee, mourning, and even now know I not how Thou camest unto me!

Nay, foolish one! Never was I absent from thee. Here in my heart’s heart I bear thee ever, one with myself. Nay more, that knowledge unknown, that love unloved within, is the power whereby I centre myself on God, and all my being is praise.

Only thy need recalled me to the without, and broke my song …

How Thy face shines! How bright is the halo above Thy brow!

It is the shining of God through the self-life. To me, thou art set in the self-same light.
