Page 29 But the core in its burning self The names it calls its self Essence of flame, form of flame- How can this be named? The eternal and the not-created The point of adoration for the mind Yes, I bow down with the mind and all its fickle sidesteps into history I dance and sing a wailing song of exile and reunion (I am privy to both) And seek to be what I once was before the intervention of the world O sable darkness in which I see all things! O wave that carries all the waves to the shore and then back to the sea! Everything – Nothing –what can I say? With what essay one step of the dance or show you the receding wave Previous Page / First / Next * * * Cf. by Martin Burke : Reading Meister Eckhart II - This Singing Ground More works inspired by Eckhart ||| Eckhart Home
But the core in its burning self
The names it calls its self
Essence of flame, form of flame-
How can this be named?
The eternal and the not-created
The point of adoration for the mind
Yes, I bow down with the mind and all its fickle sidesteps into history
I dance and sing a wailing song of exile and reunion
(I am privy to both)
And seek to be what I once was before the intervention of the world
O sable darkness in which I see all things!
O wave that carries all the waves to the shore and then back to the sea!
Everything – Nothing –what can I say?
With what essay one step of the dance or show you the receding wave
