The Secret Embrace

October 23, 2020

Before being born into the world of time,
The silence of pre-existence was all absorbing.

The transition from eternity to time
Is full of sufferings, fears, and little deaths.

But, in the transition from death
To eternal life,

The silence of pre-existence
Bursts into boundless joy.

All that can be manifested emerges
From the endless creativity of
That Which Is.

But

The Secret Embrace
Of
The Source of all creation
With
Infinite Transcendence
Can
Never be revealed.


—Thomas Keating
