Description

In this contemplative work, two weary travelers—Stephanus, a sickened senator, and Paulus, his steadfast companion—spend a midnight hour examining the tangled roots of ego and faith. Their conversation drifts from personal regret to the broader question of how each soul must find its own path toward salvation. The dialogue is steeped in the language of ancient philosophy, echoing Plato and early Christian thought.

Paulus recounts his own education, from grammar to astronomy, and reveals how his once‑vigorous pursuit of knowledge gave way to a quieter, more reflective devotion. As the night deepens, the pair probe the paradox of caring for others while wrestling with their own inner turmoil. Listeners will be drawn into a richly textured meditation that feels both timeless and intimately human.
