Our soul is so vast . . .
HIS LIPS UPON THE VEIL
He has never left you.
It is just
that your soul is so vast
that just like the earth
in its innocence,
it may think,
“I do not feel my lover’s warmth
against my face right now.”
But look, dear,
is not the sun reaching down its arms
and always holding a continent
in its light?
God cannot leave us,
It is just that our soul is so vast,
we do not always feel his lips
upon the
veil.
~St. Catherine of Sienna (1347-1380)
