Knowing

Holy Blessed One

Your Presence is love

I cannot know without You

I cannot learn without You

I cannot think without You

Adam tried to know without You

but learned only to be faithless

Our every thought now circles endlessly

in self-centredness 

How can we be forgiven?

How can we be restored to You?

How can we expel from our soul the fruit

of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil?

How can we think again only with You?

How can we learn again only with You?

How can we know again only with You?

How can we enter with You into Your rest?*
