There are two types on the path, those
who come against their will, the blindly religious,
and those who obey out of love.
The former have ulterior motives.
They want the midwife near because she gives them milk.
The others love the beauty of the nurse.
The former memorize the prooftexts of conformity
and repeat them. The latter disappear
into whatever draws them to God.
Both are drawn from the source.
Any motion is from the mover.
Any love from the beloved.
