What's old is new

Many thoughts these days, few words.

Instead I will share some beautiful words I came across that have startled me with their timelessness.  I love finding words written in a completely different time and space that speak so clearly to me today.

What good is it to me

if this eternal birth of the divine Son

takes place unceasingly

but does not take place

within myself?

And,

What good is it to me

if Mary is full of grace

and if I am not also full of grace?

What good is it to me

for the Creator to give birth to the Son

if I do not also give birth to him

in my time

and my culture?

This, then,

is the fullness of time:

When the Son of God

is begotten

in us.

Meister Eckhart (1260-1329)
