Continuing with the retreat that I am taking part in I share what was shared with us.

“I swim towards the shore only to find that You have enlarged the sea.

You leave me dazed with more desire and give me more muscle to swim again towards You.” (Hadewijch of Brabant)

My whole being registers joy as I recognize my own experience of God with this.  This is the joy of living in and with our most Beloved.
