Dark Night*

Dark night of the soul
obscure depth of being
record of life denied
written beyond my seeing

Shimmering Presence
All-knowing
darkness is not dark to you
a place of interior excavation

Guiding Night
invites me trust
the ongoing process
Grace at work

Active Aura
offers momentary awareness
fleeting glimpses
of sacred possibility

Love beckons me
rest in the mystery
Unknown yet known
hidden life with Life.

*Reflections based on The Dark Night of the Soul by Gerald G. May, M.D.

Great book Hey!

May i quote my fave passage at the moment..?

"It is the realisation of our essential union with God and creation that enables and empowers the practical living of love in the real situations of life." (pg185)

cheers!
