" Oh speech
How feeble and how faint art thou, to give
Conception birth! Yet this to what I saw
Is less than little. Oh eternal light!"
I have often wondered how I ended up in the Catholic Church. By the grace of God is the only true answer, but I wonder by what means He accomplished such a task. There are odd bits and pieces throughout the history of my life that I can sort of shoehorn into the process, but the first really clear indicator, a corner piece to this jigsaw puzzle, must be reading Dante about twenty years ago. I was a confirmed agnostic by then, but I could not resist the beauty of this story. I still can't.
