From the Ascent of Mount Carmel by St. John of the Cross
To reach satisfaction in all
desire satisfaction in nothing.
To come to the knowledge of all
desire the knowledge of nothing.
To come to possess all
desire the possession of nothing.
To arrive at being all
desire to be nothing.

Jesus never said life would be easy, but he said it would be worth it. Thank you so much for your post. It’s aspirational and inspirational.
