lost in sin

"It sometimes takes you a while
to realize that you are lost.
For the longest time, you can convince yourself
that you've just wandered off the path,
that you'll find your way back
to the trailhead any moment now.
Then night falls again and again,
and you still have no idea where you are,
and it's time to admit that you have
bewildered yourself so far off the path
that you don't even know
from which direction the sun rises anymore."
- Elizabeth Gilbert

"Forgiveness is the remission of sins.
For it is by this that what has been lost,
and was found,
is saved from being lost again."
- Augustine
