' Abondoning your self '...

When you have completely stripped yourself of your own self,

and all things and every kind of attachment,

and have transferred, made over, and abandoned yourself to God in utter faith and perfect love,

then whatever is born in you or touches you, within or without,

joyful or sorrowful, sour or sweet, that is no longer yours,
A'
it is altogether your God's to whom you have abandoned yourself.


-Meister Eckhart from Sermon 3
