Knowing


Holy Blessed One
Your Presence is love
I cannot know without You
I cannot learn without You
I cannot think without You
Adam tried to know without You
but learned only to be faithless
Our every thought now circles endlessly
in self-centredness
How can we be forgiven?
How can we be restored to You?
How can we expel from our soul the fruit
of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil?
How can we think again only with You?
How can we learn again only with You?
How can we know again only with You?
How can we enter with You into Your rest?
