Only in the given grace of a moment’s illumination is the mind freed and delighted
Only in the given grace is the heart truly free to love
And all falls, all activity is stilled and nothing, nothing is said
No longer estranged from its own prototype
Here the infinite works its wonders
Its silence which allows all speech
It sings and is silent
It offers praise while knowing it can offer nothing
You think this odd? You think this strange?
Nothing is strange to joy and delight
And nothing more fitting for the mind
All waters turn to the seaAll waters turn to the source
All language strives to answer ‘Yes’
Changed from one brightness into another
From created to uncreated
Becoming what we were always meant to be

Cf. by Martin Burke : Reading Meister Eckhart II - This Singing Ground
