Oh Master

Send me quickly into the abyss to see the depths of human weakness. Make me face them and never forget them. Hurl me down through this many-layered world and let me learn, once for all, our true state of utter helplessness. And when there is nothing left of my self and I am shaken loose completely from all things to lie weeping in the darkness, teach me despair, Your last most bitter lesson, for only then will I be ready to come to You forever.
