Is this the life that you imagined?
Oh... it is the life I was called to.
I didn't dare imagine much.
I just listened to God's voice.
Oh, and God is a persuasive speaker, is He not?
Well, He persuaded me.
But what did He ask you to surrender?
Everything.
Isn't that the pact we make?
"Everything" is merely a word, a single suitcase into which we bundle all we are.
♪ What did your everything consist of?
Indeed, what does it consist of now?
Uh... ♪ tights... ♪ pear drops... ♪ my cat Maud--ha!-- mascara... trampolining or driving my Mini or waking up in the flat I shared with my friend near the hospital and putting coffee in the percolator, all my brothers and sisters... ♪ Or choosing what to wear, choosing what to eat, choosing what to do.
♪ Sometimes think I miss choosing most of all.
Because the choice is made.
And that's my everything now, isn't it?
Sister, it is so much more.
