a severe mercy


i'm reading "a severe mercy" by sheldon vanauken. again. i woke up this morning and i remembered their love story and i just needed to read it, to experience it along with my own, today. if you haven't read it... it is the most amazing (true) story of a love so real. so perfect...

"to hold her in my arms against the twilight and be her comrade for ever - this was all i wanted so long as my life should last...and this, i told myself with a kind of wonder, this was what love was: this consecration, this curious uplifting, this sudden inexplicable joy, and this intolerable pain."

  1. The chills I received from reading that line from the book... is a clear indication I need to read it. :)
