Love Is The Sister Of The Soul. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore
Love Is The Sister Of The Soul.
We need the presence
and shelter of love
to transfigure our loneliness.
The cosmic loneliness
is the root of our inner loneliness.
Everything we do, think and feel
is surrounded by nothingness.
Hence we become easily fearful.
All of human life seems to stand
under the shadow of nothingness.
(Meister Eckhardt calles it 'umbra nihili') .
Neverthelesslove is the deepest
language and presence of the soul.
Love is the sister of the soul.
(You may refer to the spiritual wisdom
of the Celtic world)

A few things come to me reading this, Tony. First, from Ecclesiastes as translated in the King James Version of the Bible, God has put eternity in our hearts. Then, what follows quickly in my mind, from Augustine, Our hearts are restless till they find their rest in Thee. What comfort in knowing that before all is God! Some of what you explore here is in my Heart-Song which begins, My eye must taken second place. -Glen
