I was alone in the desert, and now I have been brought home.
Those beautiful things I had thought lost forever have been returned.
My shame hath been shown to be illusion, and my failures forgiven.
Faith I had not in the workings of the One beyond my ken.
And yet faith I have been given, and love, and hope, and a new life.
I rejoice in you Oh Lord, I give thanks to you for the small things, the little proofs that you have not abandoned us.
I give thanks that You in your wisdom have brought me to this place; that You have not despaired of me, though I have despaired much of myself and of You the Eternal.
Behold the garden I have always sought, and yet hath ever been my home; that which always liveth within me, yet I journeyed to find.
