"When I sit in the darkness of meditation,
Even the darkness and coldness of prison,
Quietly ...
My life communicates with God.
He whispers within when other forms
Of communication are lost.
I see him within
When outerness is darkness.
Creator, create anew love within me.
Broken am I; begin by repairing.
The triumph is this:
God, through my consciousness,
Begin a new world-reformation.
Amen.
