As we seek the Divine there is much we can learn from those who have gone before us.
In these special days of life and breath that I now partake, my spirit is moved, as if a waterfall rushing towards its deepest cavern. As I read from the Doctor Illuminate, Ramon Lull, my admonition of Love is deeply challenged and stirred.
"What meanest thou by Love?" said the Beloved. And the Lover answered: "It is to bear on one’s heart the sacred marks and the sweet words of the Beloved. It is to long for Him with desire and with tears. It is boldness. It is fervour. It is fear. It is the desire for the beloved above all things. It is that which causes the Lover to grow faint when he hears the Beloved’s praises. It is that in which I die daily, and in which is all my will." -- Ramon Llull (1235-1316)
