today is the Feast Day of St. John of the Cross. one of my favorite Christian Catholic mystics, he is patron saint to contemplatives & mystics. a poet & deep seeker/surrenderer to union with Divine Love. out of much suffering was born an open heart of love and service.

two quotes i’d like to share:

“Tenderly, I now touch all things,

knowing one day we will part.”

what wisdom! to see the impermanence of things and love’s place in holding it all.

“They can be like a sun, words.

They can do for the heart what light can for a field.”

what wisdom! to see the power of life, giving words. a condemnation on the use of words by the most powerful in this time to deceive, & propagate, cruelty, harm, & destruction.
