The Crystal Castle of the Soul

The soul is a castle

Made of shining crystal

Where there are many rooms

And God delights

To dwell in this paradise

Whose beauty is beyond

All comprehension

And no matter how sophisticated

The mind

We hardly apprehend

This crystal-castle image

Of sacredness

Soul and of God.

~

Inspired by St. Teresa of Avila
