Resistance

This is the great truth that I need constant reminding of. This is what being alone in a Dune Shack for a week at a time teaches me to remember. This is what meditating, art and poetry reveal to me over and over. This is what allows me to love when I could just be angry. This is God to me.

I Am

Breathe deep, focus

the mind, faster than the hand,

slower than Light, strong,

needs a leash or

an invitation at least,

a beckoning, the Call,

     of the Infinite at best, 

"Return, Return, I have never left You.

  I am your One and Only."

Contemplating and Listening

I read somewhere that the word heart appears more than 800 times in the Old Testament and is described as the literal medium of communication between God and Man.

Hmmm.

In her book For the Time Being, Annie Dillard says, "We are Earth's organs and limbs; we are syllables God utters from his mouth." 

I love that.

What I know for sure is that I have to stay true, stay in touch, stay heart-centered, and listen from there, or all bets are off.
