Hidden Things

There are certain truths that can be known only if we are sufficiently emptied, sufficiently ready, sufficiently confused or sufficiently destablised.

We all start by thinking we are going to do something for God, and by the end of our lives we know God has done it all for us.

Those who gaze upon the crucfied long enough - with contemplative eyes - are always healed at deep levels of pain, unforgiveness, aggressivity and victimhood. It demands no theological education at all, just an 'inner exchange' by receiving the image within and offering one's soul back in safe return.
