spans, and cubits, and fathoms, oh my!

Being the fan of SisterJoan Chittister, that I am,
I had to share this quote from her "Vision and Viewpoint" e-newsletter
that was in my morning email that speaks to the measurement of God's mercy:

"She who approaches near to Me one span,
I will approach near to her one cubit;
and she who approaches near to Me one cubit,
 I will approach near to her one fathom;
and whoever approaches Me walking, I will come to her running;
and she who meets Me with sins equivalent to the whole world,
I will greet her with forgiveness equal to it.”
- Mishkat al-Masabaih, Sufi mystic
