I have done a terrible thing. And yet, I know, given the opportunity, I would do it again. My heart is heavy with the weight of my transgression, yet it also yearns to be free!\nDear Lord, how can it be that I am flush with the desire for sin? Can a man so good and decent and kind truly be forbidden from love by your laws and covenant? Is it your will that a simple farm girl journey alone through a world of wickedness? If I am to live forever, cut off from the light of your grace, am I to deny myself when love and kindness offer succor in this unnatural place?\nI refuse to believe that you, in your mercy, would choose to lead me astray. I shall listen to my heart, and trust that I hear your wisdom in my dreams.\n-Megara

What have I done?

A sinner’s lament

To those who stand vigil,\nHow far we have fallen when our defenders turn on those they have sworn to uphold. When a man, reeling from loss can find himself suspect, not of any great sin, but of losing himself to grief. Has the drive to live truly driven us to such extremity?\nWhat is my crime? If it is to wish to live when what I held most precious has been taken away, I confess it. If it is to cling to faith in a world of horror, I confess it. If it is to love my family, and go on for their sake, I confess it. I am a proud man, yet I am prepared to beg for the salvation of all I have left. If you swear before almighty God, that my daughters will be unharmed, then I will surrender without rancor.\nOtherwise, I will do all that that I can to escape your grasp.\n-Adalbert
