"I like the dark; it is safer here, where no one can see me. The shadows caress me; friends hugging me."

A Light of utmost splendor glows on the eyes of my soul. Therein have I seen the inexpressible ordering of all things, and recognized God's unspeakable glory -- that incomprehensible wonder -- the tender caress between God and the soul...the unmingled joy of union, the living love of eternity as it now is and evermore shall be.

— Mechthild of Magdeburg
