The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me my eye and God's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Every creature is a word of God.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The most powerful prayer, one wellnigh omnipotent, and the worthiest work of all is the outcome of a quiet mind. The quieter it is the more powerful, the worthier, the deeper, the more telling and more perfect the prayer is.
Meister Eckhart
Image
God is intelligence occupied with knowing itself.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Stillness is where creativity and solutions are found.
Meister Eckhart
Image
A just person is one who is conformed and transformed into justice.

No one is forgotten. It is a lie, any talk of God that does not comfort you.
