Dorothy Kardas, Psy.D. Th.D. - The Silence That Silenced The Foe

To ask
And not to receive...
To ask
And to contend with the contrary,
To ask
And to bear the weight of obscurity,
To ask
And to strive against the mysterious,
To ask
And to meet with silence...

To ask
And not to receive,
Is to receive...

To ask
And never receive,
Is to be favored
With the greatest favor of all...
It is to be whole...
For to ask
And never receive,
Is to be
A pure victim of love...

'To ask for nothing, to refuse nothing' (St. Francis de Sales) , takes true heroic virtue.
