An outline of a Face
Traced in the dark
An astronomer cannot track that line
From star to star
All I can do is keep falling
And fall some more
The Moon keeps calling me to Herself
And night shrouds the gate to Paradise
With this bliss of Unknowing
This does not make sense:
“What a relief!”
God, you are so funny!
“Brian, thanks for noticing.”
—Brian K. Wilcox
Cynthia Bourgeault, in Love is Stronger than Death, reflects on words of her soul mate, the monk Rafe:
At any rate, this is the path I am walking, and the road map insofar as I am able to understand it. But I am reminded of Rafe’s words, in one of those times of forgiveness after the storm, “I tried to give it a shape, but it has no shape. All I can do is open my heart more and more deeply.”
There is a shapeless mystery
That dances between two souls
Who resonate with the heavenly spheres,
While they walk together on the earth, angels to each other;
Sadly most never hear the beautiful music, the
Song of God; but those who do hold hands
With Love, everywhere.
—Brian K. Wilcox
Some persons are wounded by love, and their heart contracts; other persons are wounded by love, and their heart expands more.
The heart is formed for Infinite Expansion; but the mind has to choose to let it be so.
