How long have each of us tried to satisfy this longing with achievement, romantic/sexual relationships, psychotherapy, sports, entertainments, political scuffling, addictions, status, consumption, etc. before we finally became aware of the God-shaped hole in our hearts? Your essays never fail to remind me what truly matters, what truly satisfies.
Thank you, Ed. Indeed, we spend years feeding the hunger with what cannot nourish, only to discover it was always a hunger for God. I’m grateful these words help you remember. That’s all we’re ever doing, really… remembering the love we never stopped longing for.

Your gift is putting the words together in a way that helps us remember. I really appreciate reading your essays every time.
Thank you Ed, I am truly grateful.
Your idiom here puts me in mind of Leonard Cohen's *Book of Mercy*.
