Day 11 | The loving voice of wisdom
Everyday I ask the loving voice of wisdom, which dwells in our hearts and in this world: “What would you have me know today?” And then I listen. This is what I heard one day, not long ago…
From elsewhere:
“It’s giving until the giving feels like receiving.” (Mary Oliver, To Begin With, the Sweetgrass)
From my heart:
Like the rough Father says, though a little bit gentler.
Like Jesus said, more or less.
Like the Mother does, when the babe screams.
Like I’ve shown you all along.
Like you yourself recite everyday: “...to freely give themselves to the world.”
Eventually no sacrifice remains.
Eventually I’ve consumed all sacrifice in the fire of my truth:
That when you give, in just such a way, you will receive it back.
I love the sound of your cries, my beloved.
I love your protestations, my darling.
They tell me of your heart and of your appetite—and there is nothing more that I would rather know.
