That is enough
If the only prayer we say to God is "thank you," that is enough.
Meister Eckhart
To the quiet mind all things are possible
The most powerful prayer, one well nigh omnipotent, and the worthiest work of all is the outcome of a quiet mind. The quieter the mind, the more powerful, the worthier, the deeper, the more telling and more
perfect the prayer is. To the quiet mind all things are possible.
What is this darkness?
What is this darkness? What is its name? Call it: an aptitude for sensitivity. Call it: a rich sensitivity which will make you whole. Call it: your potential for vulnerability.
It is the nature of a word to reveal what is hidden
It is the nature of a word to reveal what is hidden. The word that is hidden still sparkles in the darkness and whispers in the silence. It entices us to pursue it and to yearn and sigh after it. For it wishes to reveal to us something about God.
The outward work can never be small if the inward one is great
The outward work can never be small if the inward one is great, and the outward work can never be great if the inward is small or of little worth.
Secretly nature seeks to ferret out God's track
Nature's intent is neither food, nor drink, nor clothing, nor comfort, nor anything else in which God is left out. Whether you like it or not, whether you know it or not, secretly nature seeks, hunts, tries to ferret out the track on which God may be found. . .
For this joy is close to you
For this joy is close to you,
it is in you!
None of you has a spirit so heavy
nor an intelligence so feeble,
none of you is so far from God
not to be able to find this joy
in God.
Thank you is enough
If the only prayer we say to God is "thank you,” that is enough.
No greater obstacle to God than time
Time is what keeps the light from reaching us.
There is no greater obstacle to God than time.
In this life we are to become heaven
In this life we are to become heaven
So that God might find a home here in us.
