Visions II - Gratias Ágere / To Give Thanks

Gratias agamus.

Dignum et justum est.

Vere dignum et justum est, aequum et salutare, semper et ubíque, gratias ágere.

Let us give thanks.

It is right and just.

Truly it is right and just, fitting and wholesome, always and everywhere, to give thanks.

[This is a non-theistic version of the words of the Latin Mass.]

Visions I - The Old Man

An old man,

with gray hair and beard,

is giving me nourishment,

sustenance,

and keys,

from the other side.

He hands these things to me

through the veil,

with his right hand.

In his left hand he holds a staff.

I do not know his name,

but he knows me.
