There are certain moments when believers, even many mystics, have felt as though God had abandoned them. As if it is God who changes towards us! Yes, it is we who are always steadfast, always unwavering in our faith and love, and God who is fickle! Sacred scriptures say that God is faithful and true, and although believers repeat these words, they are forever wondering why God does not look at them or listen to them, and why He abandons them. But it is not God who abandons us, it is we who abandon Him. How do we do this? Instead of striving to rise above the clouds, we let ourselves go, we descend, and beneath the clouds it is obviously cold and dark. We must stay high above the clouds where cold and darkness do not exist, for it is here that God dwells, and here that we too may dwell.
