*out

of light

of darkness

of every

I am

at play

on the edge

of the deep

I miss

being

in

but more

and more

I miss

being 

out!

-Jerry Schroeder, Cap.

*Voice Lessons

out of suitable

silence, a cave

perhaps, a mist

you come to

the awe

hiding in loneliness

out of infinite

attention to nothing

above

or beyond you

you

sound

-Jerry Schroeder, Cap.

*Meister Eckhart insists that we must be so united with God that we act from the very ground of our being, which is identical with the ground of God's being, so that, like God, we require no further reason why than God does.  'If anyone were to go on asking Life, "Why do you live?", for a thousand years, they would get no other answer (supposing Life could answer) than this: "The reason why I live is that I live".... If anyone were to ask a true person, who acts from their own (inner) ground, "Why do you perform your actions?", if they answer correctly they will say nothing other than this, "I act because I act."'

-Simon Tugwell
