I couldn’t help sharing this poem now. I’m very enthusiastic about what it seeks to express, but I also hope it’s not too “dense.” It is a kind of condensation of a lot of thought and prayer, so bear with me. Feel free to let me know if you have thoughts about how I could express things better. More on this to come!
I know that your heart yearns, little one, to create something beautiful, a testament of love, a reflection, in the dimness of this world, of the radiant beauty of my own eternal light. I know the longing within to give birth without, the desire to create, sharing in eternal creativity. I want you to know, beloved, and to feel that the greatest masterpiece which I desire for you is the unspeakable beauty which is you yourself. You, the one whom I infinitely love, are the icon, transparent to my shining glory, enfolded in my grace, a blaze of fiery light bursting through the eyes, a figure whose countenance, whose heart, whose life is a reflection of the life, the heart, the face which is my own.
