With anger gone,

You will indeed perceive that, for Christ's vision and the gift of sight, no sacrifice was asked, and only pain was lifted from a sick and tortured mind.

Is this unwelcome? Is it to be feared? Or is it to be hoped for, met with thanks and joyously accepted?

We are one, and therefore give up nothing. But we have indeed been given everything by God.

Yet do we need forgiveness to perceive that this is so.
 
Without its kindly light we grope in darkness, using reason but to justify our rage and our attack.
 
Our understanding is so limited that what we think we understand is but confusion born of error.
 
We are lost in mists of shifting dreams and fearful thoughts, our eyes shut tight against the light; our minds engaged in worshipping what is not there.
