Mystics as natural explorers of eternity
Since there is an immortal spark
of the eternal fire in him,
he is implicitly a child of the infinite.
This belief, that it is real
and actual is the pivot
of the Christian position,
the foundation and justification
of mysticism, asceticism
and the whole machinery
of the self-renouncing life.
These natural explorers of eternity,
the transcendental faculty,
the eye of the soul,
is not merely present in embryo,
but is highly developed
and is combined with highly
emotional and volitional power.
These natural explorers of eternity, the transcendental faculty, the eye of the soul, is not merely present in embryo, but is highly developed and is combined with highly emotional and volitional power.....so impressive and true. A beautiful philosophical poem so nicely executed.10

I would like to translate this poem
The title of this one called to me, Tony. What it and this poem make me think of is how we who want to please God want to do that in the present reality, feel God’s company as we try to make this world a better place. This then reminds me of what Jesus says in his John 17 prayer, that to know God is eternal life. This what you mean? -Glen
