! ! Annunciation

Humility this day is that she has passed all thought in stillness; beyond waiting rests her being. Then like a lightning flash without light, without sound; micromoment of all presence that ever is, in which she knows all that there is to know beyond all thinking it; humility and glory then the same. Now no need for questioning: she nor others; disbelievers; enemies; herself, all that concerns her, now known fully; she, now full of truth. Later words may come; as though there might be two in her humility; she, now full of unity; she lives the perfect prayer: perfect come from perfect; and when her time and time itself is ripe, perfect shall be taken from that perfect; and perfect will remain with her; she, now full of god, of good; who dares or dares not call her blest save she herself; hands folded into lap, head a little bowed, eyes down; she now full of god, of good?
