God sighs to be known in us . . .


"God sighs to become known in us. God is delivered from solitude by the people in whom God reveals himself. The sorrow of the unknown God is softened through and in us."

Ibn al-Arabi
13th century Sufi mystic


Quoted by Franciscan friar Richard Rohr in his book: "What the Mystics Know"
