“Your letter filled me up with sun, which is the reflection of your heart. Also, I
have to admit that nothing can be compared to the bliss of being absorbed & transparent,
like we are. We only live with the feeling of belonging to one another, in
front of God. (...) Yes, certainly, our bingerles cannot be reduced to nothing and
one has to be appealing like you are to give away such a delight. I feel so satisfied
and happy to adore you”.
