of getting an INSIGHT

And the BITTEREST

Why does anything EXIST AT ALL ?!
The MOST IMPORTANT mystery:
Why am I ?-- and
WHAT is awaiting me

but waht I particularly love
is to be CONSCIOUSLY existent.

Where there is no human DOUBT,
there is no ANSWER given
theHoly Spirit.

(Hildegard von Bingen)



Who is GOD?
No thought ascends him
no PERSERVERANCE will reach him
no PROFUNDITY will fathom him.

[BUT] Who straightens up for LOVE,
[is the one who] reaches up to god.
Who submits to love,
fathoms his deepness.

(Jörg Zink)



If we should really SEE
god one DAY,
we're going to SAY:

You've ALWAYS been LIKE THIS:

You've been EVERYONE&
that I have LOVED.
You've been EVERYONE
that has LOVED me.
Everything FRIENDLY or GOOD.
Everything that has helped me
to proceed on my way.

It has ALWAYS been YOU.

(C.S Lewis)
