2.2.12

I'm reading St. Augustine's Confessions right now and it's a strange book. As the title suggests, it is the personal confessions of St. Augustine to God. The book is an intensely personal and thorough (sometimes painfully so) account of his life to his saviour.
As I read it, I feel like that creep sitting in the coffee shop overhearing a couple break up; the guy going on about how he still loves her and the girl making up weird and vague excuses. I'm not using this as a metaphor for Augustine and God's relationship, it's just that this happened to me a few weeks back (while reading Confessions actually). Awkward.
All this said, you should read Confessions.

“I entered into my inward soul, guided by you.”

 - St. Augustine in Confessions p.100
