I know that the Immovable comes down;  

I know that the Invisible appears to me;  

I know that he who is far outside the whole creation  

Takes me within himself and hides me in his arms,  

And then I find myself outside the whole world.  

I, a frail, small mortal in the world,  

Behold the Creator of the world, all of him, within myself;  

And I know that I shall not die, for I am within the Life,  

I have the whole of Life springing up as a fountain within me.  

He is in my heart, he is in heaven:  

Both there and here he shows himself to me with equal glory.

– St Symeon the New Theologian
