11: O thou my sister, my dear sister! ...

O thou my sister, my dear sister! Divine wisdom hath decreed this temporary separation, but I long more and more to be with thee
again. Patience is called for, and long-suffering, and
trust in God, and the seeking of His favour. Since
thou art there, my mind is completely at rest.

In recent days, I have made a plan to visit Egypt, if
this be God's will. Do thou, on my behalf, lay thy
head on the sacred Threshold, and perfume brow and
hair in the dust of that Door, and ask that I may be
confirmed in my work; that I may, in return for His
endless bounties, win, if He will, a drop out of the
ocean of servitude.
