There is a powerful stage of spiritual growth where longing for the Friend, the Beloved, is a consuming passion, a burning. And there is another place where personal longing for God gets pushed over into a vast Silence.
~ Coleman Barks
We are a unity in our diversity
Jewels in a very large web
connected by "Mystery"
But "Mystery" the same for all
but called by different names
The name may be the limit
that tears the strands apart
of the web
connecting us in it.
