birth

[Guest guest]

In this birth you will discover all blessing.

But neglect this birth and you neglect all blessing.

Tend only to this birth in you and you will find there

all goodness and all consolation,

all delight,

all being and all truth.

 

It is good for a person

to receive God into himself or herself

and I call this receptivity the work of a virgin.

But it is better when God becomes fruitful within a person.

For becoming fruitful as a result of a gift

is the only gratitude for the gift.

I call such a person a wife

and in this sense the term wife is the noblest term

we can give the soul,

it is far nobler than virgin.

Every day

such a person

bears fruit a hundred times

or a thousand times,

giving birth and becoming fruitful

out of the most noble foundation of all.

 

Pay attention now to exactly where this birth takes place:

This eternal birth

takes place in the soul

totally in the manner

in which it takes place in eternity,

neither more nor less.

There is only one birth--

and this birth takes place in the being

and in the ground and core

of the soul.

 

--Meister Eckhart

sounds like my drug dealer 'Dr. Love'.

 

fine man with lovely stuff.

 

gotta love him...

 

and pay him on time too..

 

or all that love goes out the window for some strange reason.

 

Love,
