If you could just be still, stop rushing round and round
in search of God— you'd find Him as your Ground.

The deepest prayer
which I could ever say
is that which makes me One
with That to which I pray.

By honors, medals, titles,
no true man is elated.
To realize that which we are,
this is the honor for which we are created.

How fleeting is this world yet it survives.
It is we that fade from it and our ephemeral lives.

Ah! would the heart but be a manger for the birth,
God would once more become a child on earth.

He who turns the senses
to the Light that is his center
hears what no ear can hear,
sees where no light can enter.

A thing and no-thing: a dot and a circle.

I love one single thing, it is to me unknown;
And since I know it not, I chose it for my own.

ONE MUST BE ESSENCE
To love is difficult, for loving’s not enough.
Like God we must ourselves become that very love.

Friend, whatever you are, you must not stand still:

Henry Ossawa Tanner, 'Angels Appearing before the Shepherds,' ca. 1910, oil on canvas
Ah!
would the heart
but be a manger for the birth,
God would once more become
a child on earth.
Immeasurable is the highest!
Who but knows it?
And yet a human heart
Can perfectly enclose
it.

THE INEFFABLE REVERSAL
All things are now reversed: the castle is the cave,
The crib becomes the throne, the night brings forth the day,
The Virgin bears a child; Reflect, O Man, and say
That heart & mind must be reversed in every way.

The Logos continues to be Born
Truly, the eternal logos continues to be born;
Where? Inside, in a place where you lose yourself within.

If you hope to give birth to the God on earth, remember:
God is not external.
Conception takes place in the heart,
the womb of the Eternal.
