Fr Lawrence Lew, O.P. - St Theresa of Avila & St John of The Cross
To be like mystics stay with them awhile,
For even if you should be made from stone,
Through mystics as a jewel you'll soon be known;
Plant love of saints now firmly in your heart,
Submit your soul to those who'll never part,
While there's still hope don't wallow in despair,
Why choose the dark when there's a sun up there?
Your heart will lead you to the mystic way,
Your body drags you to its cell of clay,
So give your heart food from those in accord -
Seek fortune from the ones who know their lord!
Rumi - Extract from The Masnavi
