Vaga bond
how is it that i keep on circling You
that just when i come close
this wall appears
and i am here
and You are there
the ecstasy remembered
but not touched
and though the memory alone’s
enough
to keep me pulsing to your rhythm
it leaves You begging over there
on the other side
for me to let You see
my face again.

After reading and feeling the impact of the image of Love
begging over there, I prayed,
Oh, Love, beg no more
Here I am.
It seems a radical idea that God begs for our presence as much as we beg for his. And yet when I understand that my intense yearning is only a fraction of God’s yearning, I am humbled and unashamed of my desire to be so loved.

so beautiful….
check out these words by rumi.
Every thirst gets satisfied except
that of these fish, the mystics,
who swim a vast ocean of grace
still somehow longing for it!
No one lives in that yearning without
being nourished every day.
