"I was wandering like a lost sheep,
searching outside myself for that which was
within.
I ran through all the streets and squares of this great city, the world,
searching for Thee, God,
and I found Thee not;
because I sought Thee wrongly.
Thou wert within me and I sought Thee without."
St. Augustine
