God is my final end;
Does he from me evolve,
Then he grows out of me,
While I in Him dissolve.

And for what he has become,
There is no name.

AFTERNOON
The only problem with human beings is that they are arrogant,
because that’s what thinking is.
This is in essence ‘I know’.
Wisdom is being in the void.
To be thoughtless.
because that’s what thinking is.
This is in essence ‘I know’.
Wisdom is being in the void.
To be thoughtless.
Only by being in the void can the Light come through.
As long as I have something going on in my mind
the Light can’t come through.
The Light can only come in when the mind is cleared
–in a state of silence.

You need not do anything.
Remain sitting at your table and listen.
You need not even listen, just wait.
You need not even wait,
just learn to be quiet, still and solitary,
and the world will freely offer itself to you unmasked.
It has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
—Franz Kafka

Give up to grace.
The ocean takes care of each wave ‘til
it gets to shore.
You need more help than you know.

Never not here,

All destinations other than
