Given to God,
the worn sandals of thought left at a distant threshold, one's care is for Him alone that His care may be for all. Before Him, in His mystery, the unclenching of the fists of knowing -- the unhanding of all things to Him, being in oneself nothing and no-one, the fool with open palms -- before Him, that one might happily contain Him. Being empty and light, one is God, His all and His love, held within the light -- and one sinks as the light to God, through God and, for His sake, beyond God. One is a pebble turned between God's fingers to be tossed into the pool of His everlasting clearness that His hand might be free.
