An Excerpt from There Is A God, There Is No God: A Companion for the Journey of Unknowing by John Kirvan
John Kirvan provides a new translation and interpretation of the fourteenth century spiritual classic. Here is a passage on the spiritual practice of yearning.
"There comes a moment
when there arises in your soul
a movement that you are
at a loss to describe.
It moves you to desire
you know not what,
only that it is beyond your imagining.
It is God at work within you.
Let God do his work.
Let him lead you, as he will.
He needs only your consent
Be content not to see,
and put aside your need to know.
Accept that someone is moving
lovingly within you,
even if you do not recognize
that it is God at work."

Oh Jan, this would have fit perfectly with my post today at Walking in the Shadows! Pity I didn't see it earlier. I may add it as a link later if I remember!
Aside from all the male pronouns for God (which I struggle with) this is really lovely. I so agree with the theology expressed.
