'Christus Via' in Augustine's Confessions

The wooden ruler on wich Monica stands in the dream at the end of book III of the Confessions symbolizes Christ in the sense of Christ "the way" to God. The ruler episode is the climax of the theme of wandering which ceases to be important after this scene.
