1 57 Towards Her all all knowledge climbs all all passion gropes 1 58 Her embrace turns suffering to ecstasy 1 59 Through Her each self self knows itself as the one Self 1 60 In Her Her confirmed in Her Her transformed 1 1 61 each life finds itself fulfilled 1 62 Above: the boundless hushed beatitudes 1 63 Below: the the wonder of the the embrace divine 23
1 64 You are made to know all this yet you stumble 1 65 From the the Garden of of Ecstasy you tumble into the the pit of of despair 1 66 You are a a a a a a part part of God and yet insist upon being apart from God 24
1 67 You want more when in in fact you have everything 1 68 Without Wisdom the sharp becomes blunt 1 69 the bright becomes dull 1 70 and the clear becomes murky 25
1 1 71 Without Wisdom you took this world of wondrous complexity 1 72 and made it one of harrowing complication:
1 73 a a a world no longer dancing but marching 1 74 a a world no longer singing but screaming 1 75 You made a a a hell of heaven
1 76 and turned the realm of of love into an an empire of of fear 1 77 Yet She longs for you you still and loves you you no less 23
