“If I want to write on a wax slate, then there can be nothing written on it (…) I must erase and empty everything that is on the slate, and it is never presented to me so well for writing than when there is isn’t absolutely anything. In a very similar manner, if God in the highest must write in my heart, then everything must leave my heart, be it this or that; so are the things with the separated heart.”

Meister Eckhart
