only you know

My God, I thought with sudden vehemence, so you really are. There are proofs of your existence. I have forgotten them all and never ever wanted any, for what a huge obligation would lay in the certainty of you. And yet that is what has just been shown to me. This, then, is what tastes good to you; this is what gives you pleasure. That we should learn to endure everything and never judge. What things are filled with gravity? What things with grace? Only you know.
