This Trackless Solitude Deep in the soul the acres lie of virgin lands of sacred wood where waits the Spirit. Each soul bears this trackless solitude. The Voice invites, implores in vain the fearful and the unaware; but she who heeds and enters in finds ultimate wisdom there. The Spirit lights the way for her; bramble and bush are pushed apart. He lures her into wilderness but to rejoice her heart. Beneath the glistening foliage the fruit of love hangs always near. the one immortal fruit: He is or, tasted: He is here. Love leads, and she surrenders to His will. His waylessness of grace. She speaks no words save his, nor moves until he marks the place. Hence all her paths are mystery. presaging a devine unknown. Her only light is in the creed that she is not along. Ther soul that wanders, Spirit lead, becomes, in His transforming shade, the secret that she was, in God. before the world was made. by Jessica Powers
