Jan Elvee––Ah yes––poem
"The more protection,
the less God."
Michael Regan
Ah yes,
the via negativa,
the emptying of self
in order to be filled with God:
excruciatingly difficult,
although it's only your mind that says so,
and thrillingly joyful when you finally let go, however briefly.
My dear, you are not
the first or special,
it's an ancient tradition;
it's time to acknowledge you are being called
to listen, to hear, to sense
how this truth burrows into your solar plexus
and resonates in your throat.
Can you simply say yes?
