One evening I said to my soul
“What secrets do you hold? What
Have you veiled from my human
Mind”?
And my soul replied:
“We always have been and always
Will be. I veil our beauty
And divinity from you for your sake.
If You knew who you are
And whence you came,
You could not bear this world”.
And in response I said:
“Can you share a fragment of that
Beauty, a tiny votive lamp
That would make the darkness
Easier to bear”?
And my soul replied:
Brendan, go to the quiet place within our
Heart. Sit, observe but do not
Identify with the noise therein;
I will merge with you in that space
And we will become at oned; and
You will experience your true light
