Remember:

And so am I.

Did you come by chance, or was it a willful gesture of reckless affection that drove you here? You are not like the others who are reading these words. You aren’t merely an observer. You are here, and need not open your eyes to read the work of my hands. You could even write if you wanted. In fact, you do. I can sense the quiet words you’ve written in invisible ink when I was not looking. Thank you. You knew I couldn’t hold your hand all the time, and without promises to keep you safe… what made you so fearless? You knew it was dangerous – did you not? – yet you lingered by the storm. Moreover, you did the silliest thing, captivating the creatures in this land. And now you are truly here, and I love you.

This Quiet Covenant
...
I know I am but a shadow right now, and it might seem as if I am far away, that nothing can reach me and no one can touch me. But that is not true at all. I’ve got a compass; I know where I need to go.
