For God
To make love,
For the divine alchemy to work,
The Pitcher needs a still cup.
To make love,

~ Hafiz, translated by Daniel Ladinsky in THE GIFT
When love has carried us above and beyond all things, into the Divine Dark, we receive in peace the Incomprehensible Light, enfolding us and penetrating us. What is this Light, if it be not a contemplation of the Infinite, and an intuition of Eternity? We behold that which we are, and we are that which we behold; because our thought, life and being are uplifted in simplicity and made one with the Divine Truth which is God.
