I Would Cease to Be


St Teresa of Avila


God

dissolved

my mind – my separation.

I cannot describe my intimacy with Him.

How dependent is your body’s life on water and food and air?

I said to God, “ I will always be unless you cease to Be,”

And my Beloved replied, “And I

would cease to Be

if you

died.”
