Going Home

"To this mountain you shall go in a certain night, when it comes most long and most dark, and see that you prepare yourself by prayer. Insist upon the way that leads to the mountain, but ask not of any man where the way lies: only follow your Guide, who shall offer himself to you, and will meet you in the way. This Guide will bring you to the mountain at midnight, when all things are silent and dark. It is necessary that you arm yourself with a resolute heroic courage, lest you fear those things that will happen and so fall back."
--Eugenius Philathes, Lumen de Lumine

"As the hart panteth after the water books, so panteth my heart after thee, O God.
My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, "Where is thy God?""
--Psalm 42: 1-3

"And everything comes to one,
As we dance on, and dance on, and dance on."
--Theodore Roethke
