Isolation

You dream of isolation because your eyes are closed. You do not see your brothers, and in the darkness you cannot look upon the light you gave to them.

And yet the laws of love are not suspended because you sleep.

And you have followed them through all your nightmares, and have been faithful in your giving, for you were not alone.

Even in sleep has Christ protected you, ensuring the real world for you when you awake.

In your name He has given for you, and given you the gifts He gave. God's Son is still as loving as his Father.

Continuous with his Father, he has no past apart from Him. So he has never ceased to be his Father's witness and his own.

Although he slept, Christ's vision did not leave him. And so it is that he can call unto himself the witnesses that teach him that he never slept.
