An Eckhartian Truth
By gartenfische | April 4, 2008
A man
born blind can easily
deny the magnificence of a vast landscape.
He can easily deny all the wonders that he cannot touch,
smell, taste, or hear.
but one day the wind will show its kindness
and remove the tiny patches that cover your eyes,
and you will see God more clearly
than you have ever seen
yourself.
-Meister Eckhart

This is a new Eckhart writing for me, too. Thank you so very much.
Plus, I love the way you faithfully visit my blog, my friend.
