What’s the need to bow and pray
to beg for long life?
Clearly the original spirit
Is thoroughly pure.
Shatter space to become completely free.

Immortal Sisters: Secrets of the Taoist Women

When God laughs at the soul and the soul laughs at God, the persons of the Trinity are begotten.

- Meister Eckhart

There is one love in all three Persons;
One lover all the Three provides;
And the beloved is the lover
Which in each of them resides.

The Being which all three possess
Each of them does possess alone;
And each of them loves what that Being
Itself possesses of its own.

This very Being is Each One,
And it alone, in its own way,
Has bound them in that wondrous knot
Whose mystery no man can say.

- St. John of the Cross
