"O Luna, by means of my embracing and sweet kisses,
Thou art made beautiful, strong and mighty like as I am.
O Sol, thou art to be preferred before all light,
But yet thou needest me, as the cock does the hen."
- Rosarium philosophorum -

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
T S Eliot.

in on detachment (von abegescheidenheit), meister eckhart writes that “detachment” (abegescheidenheit) is “higher than love” (über minne), because detachment empties the soul of self-will and renders it wholly receptive to the divine.
