Interaction
rarely goes beyond noise.
When you look at me,
you only see a reflection of you,
at least at first,
till you realize you can’t see me at all.
Stillness doesn’t belong.
Silence will only mean surrender.
Truth,
only means vulnerability
when you see it from here.
I am decreasing,
becoming less,
till you can’t see me at all.
And,
it is quite ok.
I don’t need to be seen.
I don’t need to be heard.
I don’t need at all.
Love,
is ok,
just sitting,
and waiting
quietly.

JUST WHAT ARE YOU REALLY LOOKING FOR?
GOD?
SO MANY BOOKS,
SO MANY WEBSITES,
SO MANY EMPTY OPINIONS,
LIKE RABBIT TRAILS THROUGH AN EMPTY DESERT.
TIME,
IS TOSSED AWAY,
AS YOU LOOK EVERYWHERE,
THAT IS EASY.
ARE YOU READY?
READY TO FIND GOD?
READY TO MEET HIM???????
I CAN TELL YOU HOW.
STOP!
STOP LOOKING!
STOP SEEKING!
STOP PACKING AROUND YOUR GUILT,
AND EXCUSES.
YOU HAVE BEEN SHIRKING RESPONSIBILITY.
YOU HAVE BEEN SKIRTING TRUTH,
AVOIDING YOUR OWN ACCOUNTABILITY.
YOU KNOW THAT ALL THAT
RUNNING AROUND,
SEEKING AROUND
JUST DOESN’T GET IT DONE.
CHASING THE NEXT NEW TEACHING,
OR THAT ANCIENT TEACHING,
JUST LEAVES YOU DANGLING
RIGHT WHERE YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN.
SO,
MY LITTLE ONE,
PLEASE, PLEASE,
JUST STOP.
JUST STOP LOOKING…………….
If you really want to find God,
stop looking for Him.
and start looking for yourself.
you know,
your self.
that little one,
hidden
behind so many walls.
Hidden
behind so many defenses.
That vulnerable little angel.
That precious beauty.
That one you barely remember.
You, yes, you.
So protected that you can’t
remember who you are………….
Just stop.
Take the time.
Do the work.
When you break through all YOUR walls,
and knock down all your defenses,
you will really find
that happy little you,
and God.
You see,
He is in there too,
with you,
just waiting for you to lay down the fear,
and open the door.
The love you missed.
The love you’ve always looked for is only within.
So just give up the search.
You already are where you need to be.
Look within.
Find you.
The kingdom of God
is within.
Love you………

GOD IS NOT…………….
LIKE THE JOYS OF THIS WORLD
GOD IS NOT…………….
LIKE THE TEMPORARY, EMPTY HAPPINESS WE FIND IN OUR INTERACTIONS
GOD IS NOT…………….
HARSH, CONDEMNING, OR DEMANDING
GOD IS NOT…………….
A LIAR
GOD IS NOT…………….
A LOVE THAT COMES AND GOES
GOD IS NOT…………….
WAITING FOR YOU TO SCREW UP
OR EVEN GET IT RIGHT
GOD IS NOT…………….
LIKE A GROWN UP
GOD IS NOT……………..
LIKE RELIGION OR IT’S LEADERS
GOD IS NOT…………….
OR EVER WILL BE……….
FALLING OUT OF LOVE
WITH HIS CREATION
J
A SIMPLE
THOUGHT
TO UNDERSTAND
KNOWING
GOD……………….
SEE GOD
IN EVERYTHING
KNOW HIM
BETWEEN EVERYTHING

I’m lost,
Or so I think.
But I’m not looking to get saved.
At least not the way you mean.
There would have to be substance,
And you don’t seem to offer that.
Lost in this world.
I’m tired of words,
And not just yours.
Jesus,
My dear Jesus,
I need help.
Sometimes I can’t see beyond the walls of the Church.
Like prison walls,
I’m told what to think,
And what not to think.
Church, prison,
Prison, Church.
I’m looking for that truth,
That makes me free.
It isn’t in the building.
I spent twenty years looking.
It isn’t allowed in.
It’s somewhere outside the walls,
With Jesus.
And now I’m out here.
Tired of words.
Tired of all the noise.
Just so desperately seeking truth.
Not your version…..
The real truth.
The one I find
only in
silence……….
J
WORLDLY MIND,
THIS MIND OF THOUGHT,
BASED ON JUST WHAT?????
YOU SEE,
YOU AND ME
WE BOUGHT A THOUGHT
BEING SOLD BY THE BRASH AND BOLD
OUR SOULS TO HOLD
THOUGHTS,
SO VERY COLD…….
ANOTHER MIND,
SO DEEP I FIND
ON THAT SOFT VELVET SHELF
OF SILENCE.
FORGET GUNS
AND GOVERNMENTS
AND YOUR SWEET VERSION OF JUSTICE…..
IT’S OK
LET IT ALL FLOAT AWAY
FIND THE TRUTH
OF THE ETERNAL SILENT MIND
AND STAY
QUIETER
QUIETER
SO VERY STILL
BE
SO VERY STILL
TRUTH AND POWER,
HIDDEN IN SO GENTLE
A SETTING.
J
JUST LIKE BAD MAGNETS,
THIS WORLD OF THINKING AND REASON
AND
THE ETERNAL SILENCE WITHIN.
NO RESOLVE
ONE IS REAL
JUST ONE IS TRUTH
SILENCE
JUST HANGING OVER EVERYTHING
WITH A SECRET SMILE
J
