God
loves the soul so deeply
that were anyone to take away from God
the divine love of the soul,
that person would kill God.

If you were to let a horse
run about in a green meadow,
the horse would want to pour forth its whole strength
in leaping about the meadow.
So too
it is a joy to God

to have poured out
the divine nature and being
completely into us
who are divine images.

Meister Eckhart, Meditations With Meister Eckhart by Matthew Fox
