A poem by Martin Burke, inspired by Meister Eckhart. You can read it complete at the Meister Eckhart site.

And in the wilderness of the mountain
And in the wilderness of the valley
-To the consumed heart they are both the
same-
The word blessed the silence in which it was
spoken 

The moments of poverty will pass
The barrenness will be transformed
The empty will be filled and filled again

This Singing Ground
