One hidden

You do very well, O soul, to seek Him ever as one hidden, for you exalt God and approach very near Him when you consider Him higher and deeper than anything you can reach. Hence pay no attention, neither partially nor entirely, to anything your faculties can grasp. I mean that you should never seek satisfaction in what you understand about God, but in what you do not understand about Him. Never pause to love and delight in your understanding and experience of God, but love and delight in what you cannot understand or experience of Him. Such is the way, as we said, of seeking Him in faith. However surely it may seem that you find, experience, and understand God, because he is inaccessible and concealed you must always regard Him as hidden, and serve Him who is hidden in a secret way. –St John of the Cross ‘Spiritual Canticle’
