Love flows from God to man,
Like a bird
Who rivers the air
Without moving her wings.
Thus we move in His world
One in body and soul,
Though outwardly separate in form.
As the Source strikes the note,
Humanity sings -
The Holy Spirit is our harpist,
And all the strings
Which are touched in Love
Must sound.
—Mechtild of Magdeburg
(1210-1282)

Don't listen to anyone else who tells you not to do it.
You do what you want, what you love.
Imagination should be the center of your life.
Ray Bradbury
---St. Augstine
AFTERNOON
A bird does not fall in air.
In the fire of creation,
God doesn't vanish:
The fire brightens.
Each creature God made
must live in its own true nature;
How could I resist my nature,
That lives for oneness with God?
Mechthild of Magdeburg
on the eyes of my soul.
Therein have I seen the
inexpressible ordering of all things,
and recognized God's unspeakable glory
-- that incomprehensible wonder --
the tender caress between God and the soul...
the unmingled joy of union,
the living love of eternity as it now is
and evermore shall be.
Mechthild of Magdeburg
For that reason
nothing can express my beauty
nor liberate me
except love alone.
Mechthild of Magdeburg
Because others cannot vibrate in your experience,
they cannot affect the outcome of your experience.
They can hold their opinions,
but unless their opinion affects your opinion,
their opinion matters not at all.
and it would not negatively affect you unless you push back.
They are affecting what happens in their experience.
They are affecting their point of attraction--
but it does not affect you
unless you push against them.
Abraham (Esther Hicks)

including this one,
because a free being is not bound
by any plane of reality whatsoever.
– Ram Dass
and try to love the questions themselves,
like locked rooms and like books
that are now written in a very foreign tongue.
Do not now seek the answers,
which cannot be given you
because you would not be able to live them.
And the point is, to live everything.
Live the questions now.
Perhaps you will then gradually,
without noticing it,
live along some distant day into the answer.
Rilke
