The Totally Other

I know that the Immovable comes down;
I know that the Invisible appears to me;
I know that He who is outside the whole creation Takes me within Himself
and hides me in His arms,
And then I find myself outside the whole world.
I, a frail, small mortal in the world,
Behold the Creator of the world,
all of Him, within myself;
And I know that I shall not die,
for I am within the Life,
I have the whole of Life springing up as a fountain within me.
He is in my heart, He is in heaven:
Both there and here He shows himself to me with equal glory.
- St Symeon the New Theologian
