The Hope of Love
Meister Eckhart
What keeps us alive, what allows us to endure?
I think it is the hope of loving,
or being loved.I heard a fable once about the sun going on a journey
to find its source, and how the moon wept
without her lover’s
warm gaze.We weep when light does not reach our hearts. We wither
like fields if someone close
does not rain their
kindness
upon
us.

Before you write, think.
Before you spend, earn.
Before you invest, investigate.
Before you criticize, wait.
Before you pray, forgive.
Before you quit, try.
Before you retire, save.
Before you die, give.”

🌤 Hope Holds to Christ ~ Gerard Manley Hopkins
Hope Holds to Christ
Gerard Manley Hopkins
Hope holds to Christ the mind’s own mirror out
To take His lovely likeness more and more.
It will not well, so she would bring about
An ever brighter burnish than before
And turns to wash it from her welling eyes
And breathes the blots off all with sighs on sighs.
Her glass is blest but she as good as blind
Holds till hand aches and wonders what is there;
Her glass drinks light, she darkles down behind,
All of her glorious gainings unaware.
. . . . . . . .
I told you that she turned her mirror dim
Betweenwhiles, but she sees herself not Him.
