You want God to tell you something is true so you’ll really know it’s true, but you know that even if He tells you you won’t entirely believe Him.

“I study your sleeping form / at the bottom of the pool / like a house I could return to,

like a head to be cradled in the arms. / Unless you are asleep I cannot make my way / across the night / and through my isolation.”

Anne Carson | “TV Men: The Sleeper”
