how far can you think?

last evening i sat on our porch watching the fireflies dance and admiring the almost full moon bathe the fields in light. in these moments I know the great mystery.

this morning i sit on the same porch, in gratitude for the air which is circulating. i wonder if the leaves and limbs and brush are grateful for the movement? i wonder if  when the curtains blow and move they feel anything? if life force is in all things, then why not?

i wonder why the birds bathe in the dirt, fluttering their wings as if in water? does the dirt help to remove sticky stuff?

i wonder if when the birds are in the birdbath, are they singing with gratitude for the wetness and coolness against their teeny bodies?

i wonder, when I step outside and the mother deer rises from the fields, does she hear me sharply as I open the slider door or do her instincts tell her to raise herself from sleep? I wonder, does the baby speckled fawn consciously follow the mother or stand and jump off of her own knowing?

i wonder why every one does not realize that it is the love connection we seek. I wonder why it is so unclear with wounded distractions that one cannot simply see that love is why we are here and love is what every person seeks. it is in love and loving that we are aware of our innate connection with God.

i wonder if at any time on earth, will all souls realize together, that the Love of God is all we are seeking - that any other love falls short.

i wonder how many people realize that addictions/distractions - (sexual, drug, alcohol, lying, food, pain, etc.) - are ways to distract one from the fact that they are avoiding opening their hearts to God?

i wonder how many truly feel the love of God, of the Great Mystery in their lives as the One, the connection of all connections.

i understand why we each have to walk our own paths and do our own journey and that no one else can do it for us - and I wonder, would we have humanness without the need to evolve?  would there still be a cosmic need for the human form if we did not require THIS journey to support our individual and therefore collective involution?

i believe that the ones who make it tough for us on earth, who challenge our egos, who dislike us, who hurt us: we love the most when not in body. they help us to evolve in love. this allows me gratitude for/ to them.

i believe that when we hate, anger and condemn we are building disease in our own human instrument.

i love you through the love I am aware with God. it is the only way to truly love.
