The Spark

The "spark" is not so much a stable entity which one finds but an event, an explosion which happens as all opposites clash within oneself.
Then it is seen that the ego is not.
It vanishes in its non-seeing when the flash of the spark alone is.
When all things are reduced to the spark, who sees it?
Who knows it?
--Thomas Merton, Love and Living.





The "spark" which is my true self is the flash of the Absolute recognizing itself in me.
-- Thomas Merton, Love and Living.



We cannot change the directions of the wind, but we can adjust our sails.
Have a beautiful day unless you plan otherwise.
