                 Psalm 119:148

On a dark night... without light or guide, save that which burned in my heart. This light guided me more surely than the light of noonday to the place where he was awaiting me. A place where none appeared. Oh, night that guided me. Oh, night more lovely than the dawn. Oh, night that joined beloved with lover, lover transformed in the beloved!
