Just came across these this morning from Meister Eckhart:
A Soul Digests —
Each of us has a soul
made to grasp the One
who made every one,
body and soul.
Slowly and deliberately,
as bodies digest, the soul’s powers
move and nourish us.
As the body grows, the soul’s powers
grow inside us.
As my eyes learn to see,
in light and all detail, the soul
finds its power to think and see.
The Way Love Is —
You are love in everything
that is, and it belongs to
the perfection of Your greatness
that not even my nothingness
is far from You, for You
meet me in my imperfection
and You act on me not from
the distance of my failings
but from the presence
of Your perfection which
is the way love is.
