And it points up something that always makes me squirm a little bit when I hear lots of talk from someone about being a mystic: in the final analysis there is not a thing we can do to be mystics. Only God can make a mystic. And if God's will is to engage us in some other way, there is not a thing that we can do about changing that. Our 'mystical' effort is certainly not sufficient. It may not even be necessary. I don't doubt that our efforts can sometimes be more obstacle than anything else. Wonderful passage!
