![]() "The Valley of Vision Lord high and holy, meed and lowly, Thou hast brought me to the valley of vision, where I live in the depths but see thee in the heights; hemmed in by mountains is sin I behold thy glory. Let me learn by paradox that the ways down is the way up, that to be low is to be high, that the broken heart is the healed heart, that the contrite spirit is the rejoicing spirit, that the repenting soul is the victorious soul, that to have nothing is to have all, that to bear the cross is to wear the crown, to give is to receive, that the valley is the place of vision. Lord, in the daytime stars can be seen from the deepest wells, and the deeper the wells the brighter they stars shine, Let me find thy light in my darkness, thy life in my death, thy joy in my sorrow, they grace in my sin, thy riches in my poverty, thy glory in my valley." That's just the first one. The rest are equally beautiful, or better. |

![]() I had borrowed this book from a colleague about an year ago, I remember, a small black book with the title in golden letters. I was equally impressed I recall I was sorry to return it, I should have liked to kept it for myself. I hope I will be able to acquire it one day, until then I shall be content with the pslam. Thank you for reminding me of it, sir. Regards, Radu |

![]() I know not many aside from this one valley of the vision, aside from that just psalms. Would you like to recite a line or two here, perhaps, sir? I will hear it if you wish, sir. Regards, Radu |
