Love is going out of oneself, surrendering the self, letting the reality, the truth take over. In bus or train or travelling by air, in work or study or talking and relating to others, I try to be aware of this presence in everyone and in everything.

The letter was first published in Dublin … The manuscript was written in Durham by a number of scribes during the second quarter of the twelfth century.
