Remember what Bilbo used to say: It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to. (...Tolkien)
I started my spiritual journey when I was just a child.
I have searched and searched over the years~defining and re-defining my understanding of God.
But, as the years rolled on, I was drawn deeper and deeper
into Nature and the universality of love.
And, my belief solidified within the words of ee cummins:
"love is the every only god
who spoke this earth so glad and big...".
It is the love and wide-embrace of all and everything that nourishes the soul and grows the spirit.
This journey into God is a seepage, as Toynbee says, slow seepage, an advancing tide,
not a sudden event with a climatic point.
If we remain open and attentative,
God enters-in bringing light and meaning to our lives.
Stay attentative, for it grows
and at any moment can suddenly explode
into unimaginable beauty and peace.
Yes, love is the every only God---open yourself up wide....
...sit with the God of your understanding
and soak in the love and then...
and soak in the love and then...
.......let yourself be swept away.
