More From Meister Eckhart

We live on the circumference of a hollow circle. we draw the circumference, like spiders, out of ourselves: it is all criticism of criticism.

Each of the parts of philosophy is a philosophical whole, a circle rounded and complete in itself. in each of these parts, however, the philosophical idea is found in a particular specificality or medium. the single circle, because it is a real totality, bursts through the limits imposed by its special medium, and gives rise to a wider circle. the whole of philosophy in this way resembles a circle of circles. the idea appears in each single circle, but, at the same time, the whole idea is constituted by the system of these peculiar phases, and each is a necessary member of the organisation.

Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.

He’d spent his life being a perfect gentleman. he’d never been a flirt. he’d never been a rogue. he hated being the center of attention, but by god, he wanted to be the center of her attention. he wanted to do the wrong thing, the bad thing. he wanted to pull her into his arms and carry her to her bed. he wanted to peel every last inch of her clothing from her body, and then he wanted to worship her. he wanted to show her all the things he wasn’t sure he knew how to say.

And they beat. the women for having known them and no more, no more; the children for having been them but never again. they killed a boss so often and so completely they had to bring him back to life to pulp him one more time. tasting hot mealcake among pine trees, they beat it away. singing love songs to mr. death, they smashed his head. more than the rest, they killed the flirt whom folks called life for leading them on.
