Saint Augustine in ivory.
Prayer to Saint Augustine:
“Death is nothing.
I only passed to the other side of the Path.
I am me, you are you.
What I was to you, I will keep being.
Give me the name you always gave me, talk to me like you always did.
You continue living in the world of creatures, I am living in the world of the Creator.
Don't use a solemn or sad tone, keep laughing at what made us laugh together.
Pray, smile, think about me. Pray for me.
May my name be pronounced as it always has been, without emphasis of any kind.
Without a trace of shadow or sadness.
Life means everything it has ever meant, the thread has not been cut.
Why would I be out of your thoughts, now that I'm just out of your sight?
I'm not far away, I'm just on the other side of the Path...
Amen!"
