So Fragile as We Grow
January 18, 2009 ·
Someday you will hear all things applaud your wonder.
Life claps in awe of the Divine’s performance.
When your veil is removed, you, dear –
you, everyone — will see that your being is Holy.
Who would want to sand before a mirror that was shattered,
and thus distorts our beauty
that is so fragile
as we grow.
An oasis for all life the soul becomes
when it is unveiled.
—Meister Eckhart
