Calling
Out to God
The secret essence of the soul that knows the
truth is calling out to God: Beloved … strip me of the consolations of my
complacent spirituality. Plunge me into the darkness where I cannot rely
on any of my old tricks for maintaining my separation. Let me give up on trying
to convince myself that my own spiritual deeds are bound to be pleasing to
you. Take all my juicy spiritual feelings, Beloved, and dry them up, and
then please light them on fire. Take my lofty spiritual concepts and plunge them
into darkness, and then burn them. Let me only love you, Beloved. Let me
quietly and with unutterable simplicity just love you.
