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

Where
are the children of God?
Who
are they?
I love you.
Each of you.
Each,
so beautiful
and perfect
in my eyes.
My love
is beyond
your understanding.
My grace,
my beautiful grace,
is greater than your perception of guilt
will let you accept.
My forgiveness,
is only a mask,
over my love,
to help you understand.
You know not,
what you do.
You know not,
who you are.
And you do not, yet,
know me.
Not as you should,
or will.
I love you so very much,
my beautiful,
beautiful babies.

A SIMPLE
THOUGHT

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……….

GENTLE LOVE
LOVE
IS NOT
PRIDE IN OWNERSHIP
LOVE
THE SIGHT
IN THE MIDST
OF AWARENESS
LOVE IS NOT
A PRISON
LOVE
THE BEAUTY
OF THE ONE
LOVE
IS NOT
A LIST OF DEMANDS
LOVE
IS GOD
WITH US,
GOD IN US
LOVE
IS NOT
MANIPULATION
AND CONTROL
LOVE IS
SEEING
SO FAR BEYOND
YOUR BULLSHIT
THAT I SEE
YOU
LOVE AGAIN

Do you know which questions to ask?
Knowing which questions to ask,
is the key to all the answers,
to all the questions.
So,
ask these questions……..
Who am I?
Or,
What am I?
They are the same question.
Next,
What do I want?
Not,
what does my worldly image want,
but the I within.
The last question in this list,
is to ask in the midst of every interaction,
What do you want?
Just get each person to the point.
What do you want??????
Answers to all your questions exist.
They can be found in one place.
All answers,
to all your questions.
One place.
Only,
live in the midst of these few questions.
Just narrow down your complex image
of yourself,
to these few questions.
Just take them within.
And if someone comes along to interupt your introspection,
just ask,
What do you want?????
All of life is just this simple.
So my love…….
Who are you?
What do you want?????
J
Wow!
Where is peace?
What is the color of beauty?
How close do angels really fly to me?
The more I know about God,
the less there is to lean on.
So I am sitting in Starbucks,
with a bullet.
How deep is alone?
Can I just keep driving
on this road
called forever?
Please……..
can I just become a vapor??????
A cloud?
A horse on a hill,
happy to just be alone?????
This long road to empty
is really a bitch.
I am promised pain,
but you never really expect it.
It hits you from the side
when you’re looking straight ahead.
Empty road.
Empty life
Empty head. (I only wish)
Big balls.
Only rolling down this stupid hill,
called MY life.
BIG balls.
Where oh where,
is this most noble Sophia?
Not in the steeple houses.
Not in silly hymns.
She has a box or bag
or a cloud
or bright mist
full of that peace,
that rest,
that I missed.
It’s what I seek.
Rest,
that final peace.
Just now closing my eyes,
At Starbucks,
and a bullet.
There really is no reason to worry at all.
Everything, everything is already taken care of.
It’s all in motion.
So rest.
Give up the fight.
It’s ok.
You cannot change a thing.
You’re just going for a ride.
You don’t even have to hold on.
Stop worrying.
Rest.
Go with the flow.
Like a leaf on a river.
I will make you a promise.
The moment you really let go,
everything will work out.
You will see that all your struggle,
was for nothing.
Just sit still.
Do nothing.
Rest.
Sit in silence. You can sit anywhere you like. You don’t have to sit with me. The silence near me isn’t any better than the silence over there or anywhere else for that matter. Sit where you want. Are you paying attention to the wind? Watch it in relationship to your own level of depth. It is like a moving secret that carries with it an intimacy with the infinite. Love brings with it this sweet caress. The toy is sitting still in the corner of the room. It is not demanding attention yet the child is compelled to look at it. The toy does not expect a decision but the child considers. Shall we play? At the parade, for only a moment, the veil slipped off the face of the young princess. As others scurried away, a lonely beggar gazed in awe. Then he approached the guard offering his head. No matter how thick the wall is, if we consider diligently we can usually find a door or a gate. It is always there. Or perhaps you could go another way. The end of a war rarely means peace. The brutal manipulation just seems to be finished and someone gets their way.
