Lectio for December 6
"A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions." Proverbs 18.2
Delusion is the mind's tendency to seek premature closure about something. It is the quality of mind that imposes a definition on things and then mistakes the definition for the actual experience. –Mark Epstein, Going To Pieces Without Falling Apart
Go on with this nothing, moved only by your love of God. And let nothing interfere with this therefore but persevere in this nothingness, consciously desiring that you may always choose to possess God through love, whom no one can possess through knowledge. For myself I prefer to be lost in this nowhere, wrestling with this blind nothingness, than to be like some great lord traveling everywhere and enjoying the world as if he owned it. –The Cloud of Unknowing
Thou wilt be condemned into everlasting redemption for this. –Dogberry, Much Ado About Nothing
