Gone For A Walk?

I pray to God to rid me of God.
If I myself were not, God would not be either.
If I were not, God would not be God.
God is within, we are without.
The eye through which I see God and the eye through which God sees me is the same eye.
He is He because He is not He. This cannot be understood by the outer man, only the inner man.
Find the one desire behind all desires.
God is at home. It is we who have gone out for a walk.
Through nothing I become what I am.
Only the hand that erases can write the true thing.

Meister Eckhart – German mystic born 1260
