‘Ask anything.’
My Lord said to me.
And my mind and heart thought deeply
for a second,
then replied with just one word,
‘When?’
God’s arms then opened up and I entered Myself.
I entered myself when I entered
Christ.
And having learned compassion I
allowed my soul
to stay.
All things desire to be like God,
and infinite space is a mirror
that tries
to reflect His
body.
But it can’t.
All that infinite existence can show us of Him
is only an atom of God’s
being.
God stood behind Himself one night and cast a
brilliant shadow from which creation
came.
Even this shadow is such a flame that
moths consume their selves in it every second –
with their sacred passion to possess
beautiful
forms.
Existence mirrors God the best it can,
though how arrogant for any image in that mirror,
for any human being, to
think they know
His will;
for His will has never been spoken,
His voice would ignite
the earth’s wings
and all upon
it.
We invent truths about God to protect ourselves
from the wolf’s cries we hear
and make.
All things desire to be like God,
all things desire to
love.
I said to God, ‘Let me love you.’
And he replied, ‘Which part?’
‘All of you, all of you.’ I said.
‘Dear’ God spoke, ‘You are as a mouse wanting to impregnate
a tiger who is not even in heat. It is a feat way
beyond your courage and strength.
You would run from me
if I removed my
m.ask/.’
I said to God again,
‘Beloved I need to love you – every aspect, every pore.’
And this time God said,
‘There is a hideous blemish on my body,
though it is such an infinitesimal part of my Being-
could you kiss that if it were revealed?’
‘I will try, Lord, I will try.’
And then God said,
‘That blemish is all the hatred and
cruelty in this
world.’
