Mystical Mondays: a hope for true joy





Translations by Daniel Ladinsky


700 years or so ago, Meister Eckhart wondered about something.  So the question I have is this...   if worship does not bring us joy, are we at the right place?  




An Image That Makes Them Sad


How long will grown men and women in this world
keep drawing in their coloring books
an image of God that
makes them
Sad?
.

Meister Eckhart

  3. Good question to think and exam one self! Worship doesn't make me sad, it is soothing to me and keeps my life somewhat in line! Thanks for visiting!
