The More and the Mystery, Part Two (Vision of Mystery with Be Thou My Vision)

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves . . . Do not now seek the answers which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now.” - Rainer Maria Rilke

Give me a vision of the mystery

Beyond belief of what my eyes can see

Mystery in every moment and every space

While asleep and when I wake

Beyond words on a page

Give me a vision of the mystery

Intimately

Beyond belief of what my eyes can see

“Mysticism is when God’s presence becomes experiential and undoubted . . . Mystics don’t say, ‘I believe.’ They say, ‘I know.’ The only things we know at any level are the things we have experienced.” - Richard Rohr
