Love is the Lure
When the fish takes the hook, the fisherman has it no matter how it twists and turns. So it is with love: when we take hold of it, it holds us like a hook and nothing can take it from us or from You.
MEISTER ECKHART
True and False
Nothing should be held true merely because it is eloquently expressed, no false because it sounds harsh upon the lips. And a thing is not true because rudely uttered, nor is it false because its utterance is splendid. I have learned from you that wisdom is like wholesome food and folly like unwholesome food: they can be set forth in language ornate or plain, just as both kinds of food can be served on rich dishes or on peasant ware.
