Fashioner, First Cause,
The core weaves all things (the abstract and the manifest)
For its own delight
And then, O wonder,
Creation leaps the immeasurable arc
Of longing and delight
Like a flame seeking the fire
Like a wave seeking the sea
Like one word seeking to utter all the intricacies of speech
Yes, this and no less
Wonderment the best adornment for the heart/the mind
And the steps of the dance upon the earth
And this is the core in its workings
This is the flame
This is the wave
This is the one essential verb
* * *
Cf. by Martin Burke : Reading Meister Eckhart II - This Singing Ground
