The Core of Their Reality...

Then it was as if I suddenly saw the secret beauty of their
hearts,

the depths of their hearts where neither sin nor desire
nor self-knowledge can reach,

the core of their reality,

the
person that each one is in God's eyes.

If only they could see
themselves as they really are.

If only we could see each other
that way all the time,

there would be no more war, hatred,
cruelty, no more greed...

I suppose the big problem would be
that we would fall down and worship each other.



~Thomas Merton
