These fresh, stunning renderings of Eckhart's writings in poetic form bring life to one of the great spiritual voices of any age. They reveal what it means to love God and find meaning in darkness. Not darkness in general, but your darkness, because it is the one thing you know something about--without facing your darkness, you'll never know what it means to desire the light. Only when you are in the darkness, Meister says, do you have even the possibility of seeing the light. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"What Coleman Barks has done for Rumi, Sweeney and Burrows have done for Eckhart--making his insight accessible and his wisdom sing.\" --Carl McColman, author of \u003ci\u003eThe New Big Book of Christian Mysticism and Eternal Heart \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Sweeney and Burrows, in poems that are as elegant as they are scholarly, revoice Meister Eckhart's grounding and expansive instructions to 'seek the light that shines \/ out of the darkness.'\" --Pádraig Ó Tuama, poet and host of\u003ci\u003e Poetry Unbound\u003c\/i\u003e, from On Being Studios\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jon M.
