Eckhart on friendship
What could be sweeter than to have a friend with whom, as with yourself, you can discuss all that is in your heart?
Eckhart: “Innocent and Free”
“God does not seek his own. In all his acts, he is innocent and free and acts only out of true love. That is why the person who is united to God acts that way–he, too, will be innocent and free, whatever he does, and will act out of love and without asking why, solely for the glory of God, seeking his own advantage in nothing–for God is at work in him.”
