Dear Jill,

A warm welcome to the K list!

I absolutely agree that these are K experiences! When I first read some
excerpts of St. Theresa's (a sixteenth c. mystic), (quoted in *The Sanctified
Body* by Patricia Treece) I couldn't believe it. The description was exactly
as I had been experiencing it--including using the word delicious (I presume
"delicieux," in the French).

"[Rapture] comes, in
general, as a shock, quick and sharp, before you can collect your
thoughts, or help yourself in any way, and you see and feel it as
a cloud, or a strong eagle rising upwards and carrying you away
on its wing....I repeat it: you feel yourself carried away you
know not whither....(You) feel how delicious it is...(At) times
it was impossible to resist at all; my soul was carried
away...and now and then the whole body as well, so that it was
lifted up from the ground."

Thanks for the reminder! :))

Again, welcome!

Love, Hillary
