This Gorgeous Communion...

Holy of Holies,

Most Secret of Secret Places,

Sacred Samaritan Well...

Here our hearts intermingle,

I draw from You

You draw from me...

We drink deeply and are drenched, 

soaked through,

slaked once again,

Word Beautifully Becoming

 flesh of my flesh,

bone of my bone,

Bread of Life,

The aroma of which

wafts out to a waking world,

and We become

for others

"Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth,

for His Love is better than wine."

~Song of Solomon 1:2

God With Us

"As He is, so are we in this world."

1 John 4:17

Immerse yourself in The Fire

Be so consumed

By The Beloved

That you become

someone's Emmanuel,

their "God With Them"

Let it be said of your life

That when they were with you

They were warmed by The Flame

Illumined in Its Light

Let it be said

that they were,

Unmistakably,

with God.

"One thing is needed":

"Mary seated herself at The Lord's Feet, and continually Listened."

-Luke 10:39-42

Begin Again

I AM with you

Through the breadths and the depths

Through the hells and the highs

Through the lengths you go to unravel this life

You feel stretched just now

On this taffy-pull of Time

-this illusory matrix that's turning-

You measure for meaning

When all method seems madness

To make sense of the senseless

and messes

I beg you, Look Up, from your microslice view

Trust My Eyes instead

Let Them guide you

Your existence is a piece

Of Eternity's puzzle

What seems to you prodigal

Is paramount

You are a precious Word

In the story of Time

My Word become bread

My Word become wine

Without your life 

Someone goes hungry

Without your hand

A lamb goes unfed

Without your Samaritan soul

Walking this sod

A broken heart 

is left for dead

You see the Big Picture

Of which you are part?

The High Calling it is

To be in this Art?

Relinquish now your "wisdom"

For My mysterious ways

This Life you've called a parody

I Created to be High Praise

Take the next step

Turn the next page

Rest all of you in Me

Relax your hold on what you think you know...

The Best Is Yet To Be
