in us but without us








.

The innocence and purity of heart which belong to paradise are 
a complete emptiness of self in which all is the work of God, 
the free and unpredictable expression of His love,
the work of grace. 
.
In the purity of original innocence,
 all is done in us but without us, in nobis et sine nobis.

.
~ Thomas Merton
from Zen and the Birds of Appetite
