How long can the moth flirt
near the mouth of the flame before their lips touch
and the moth’s soul
becomes like
a sun.
And does the moth then die? No.
In serving God one is transformed into Him.
What lovers would return to us,
what lovers would not unite beyond belief and annihilate
their separation forever if they
had the power
to do so?
That power our Lord has. How long do you think
you can just flirt with Him before you
dissolve in ecstasy?
Existence spins on His potter’s wheel;
all is being shaped into the Divine.
What lovers would
not want to die
embraced?
~ Meister Eckhart
