These are the cyclical watches: Waking dawns of healing, Walking light of realization, Rejoicing contentment, Sitting afternoons of temptation, Wandering twilight rebellion, Wallowing nights of sin, Shrieking midnight repentance, Mournful watches before dawn.... These are the days of shriving.
"Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it... Prone to leave the God I love...." -Robert Robinson, 1757
Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, even Jesus. -Acts 3:19-20
