To love another is to see the face of the Beloved mirroring your own.
~ from LUMEN CHRISTI...HOLY WISDOM by Nan Merrill
The monk made the bamboo come alive, capturing the sounfds of the universe and bringing them into the room. Long, deep, haunting tones vibrated in my chest. The notest demanded introspection. The noise of the rain somehow accentuated the silence between each phrase, adding an inconceivable dimension to the music.
