She: (Repentant)
Oh, forgive me Lord! I’ve sinned! I’ve taken what wasn’t mine,
And set up a shrine for myself. I avoided suffering for You, Lord.
I closed my eyes again and chose despair to my hurt.
I hardened my heart against Hope, and snapped at You, my Friend,
And now I am so sorry.
(Losing control)
I have no control! Circumstances are against me! I can’t make sense of anything. I’m cold. My life is futile. Lift me up! Save me!
Make me be what You want me to be!
The Scout: (Reaching)
Here I am, Little One. Aren’t you world weary!
You already know what I want you to give up. Give up everything.
It is your death. Until it is all given over, you will suffer your death.
She: (Wistfully)
How do I separate out the Vision? How do I give it all up
Without losing sight of the Vision?
The Scout:
Because, Child, I am the Vision.
I live within you, and I am stronger than the one who is in the world.
When you are in the world, I am stronger,
And I will will defeat the one who is in the world.
Do you understand? Remain in me. Don’t stay in the world.
I am stronger than the one who is in the world.
I have overcome the world. Until you abide in Me, it is your death.
I overshadow you. Remain safe in me. I am the Life, the Way, and the Truth.
I am the Bread of Life. How can you lose? Who can be against you?
You are weak, but I am strong.
