Mirrors of God

Inspired by Eckhart von Hockheim

Mirrors of God

“The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me;

my eye and God's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love.”

Meister Eckhart (Eckhart von Hochheim 1260-1327)

The body does only what it needs

And we are unperturbed

Mine and yours the expression

Of the Divine and not the deeds

My eye through yours is how we know God

When we reflect each other

We're Mirrors of infinite love

Before ourselves we stand awed

Until what we know is one vision

Focused through eternal bliss

I'm not me compared to you

Surely a grace that's given

There becomes a silence but not a void

And nothing's seen nor heard

All sensation sublimates

When sense of self is destroyed

Though not awareness when black is white

And quiet is all sounds

When distinctions disappear

Blindness isn't lack of sight

Then we know all is One

With no need of faith

The stillness found in knowing God

Is like basking in the sun

[Glen Yumang Manese]

A bit theology in the lines of this piece...
gets at the heart of it all...
and the reader is focused...
on the real issues of being...

You are very kind, thank you. It feels clumsy in the middle, but so do I so I left it alone.

[Glen Yumang Manese]

Do not change unless it needs fixed...is my motto...you're welcome...

[abluehorseandflowers]

I appreciate that.
