Marguerite Porete would even go so far as to say loving god is but a form of loving yourself, because it is loving the image of you that is separate and loving god. A kind of comfort in the image of oneself being someone seeking god. (from Decreation, by Anne Carson) https://t.co/5aJ3kjkQvw
But it is not a responsibility you are unequipped to handle. You train, and learn, and eventually one is given over to the Way. To the benefit of all beings and theirs to yours. https://t.co/SJcTisK6l4
