Letter 4399
The world is not the world. More lies underneath and above.
The fence is not the fence. It is simply a border in one world. What does it separate in others?
The hills are no more than a backdrop of the person in this world, sitting on this cushion, looking through this window.
❖
Above it all lies another place, where the physical forms fade and the only dimension left is nearer or farther.
Nearer or farther from peace. Nearer or farther from you, Lord.
Let me, even in this world, draw nearer to you.
Consider:
Can I draw myself nearer to the spirit?
