To live the hearts longing for God awakens us to our state of seperation ... 

Longing is the pain of seperation ... 

The pain that is underneath every other pain ... 

And with this pain comes the awareness of Him from whom we are seperate ... 

Longing is the hearts remembrance of God ... 

And as we live this longing, so we remember our Beloved ... 

Longing turns us back towards God ... 

And our tears wash away the veils of forgetfulness ...
