"Never Can We Be Separated"

God, you are my lover,
my longing,
my flowing stream,
my sun,
and I am your reflection.

. . . I who am Divine am truly in you.
I can never be sundered from you:
However far we be parted,
never can we be separated.
I am in you and you are in Me.
We could not be any closer.
We two are fused into one,
poured into a single mould.
Thus, unwearied,
we shall remain forever. . . .

– Excerpted from "Visions of God"

by St. Mechthild of Magdeburg
