Dear All of Us,
"Don't you just love it when..."
really isn't a question.
It's a vent.
We're ticked and
we're gonna
let the world know it.
It has a twin.
They're not at all identical.
"Don't you just love it when..."
isn't a question.
It's a delight.
We're not ticked.
We're tickled pink and
we're gonna
let the world know it.
"Don't you just love it when
when the neighborhood pest
mows his lawn at midnight
every Friday?
"Don't you just love it when
Grandma has us over for
the world's best ever apple pie
right out of her oven
every once in a while?"
Long the lists and
critically important.
That's because
WE ARE WHAT WE LOVE
Love makes one.
Love isn't just a preference.
Love is more than an attachment.
Love is union.
Love is a merger making one.
As we are what we eat
and it determines
our bodily health and vitality,
so who/what we love
determines our fundamental
spiritual health and vitality.
If we truly love someone,
we are "an item,"
we are a one
and it shows.
It puts a skip
in our soul stepping.
If we really love porn,
we are what it is -
love phony and failed.
It trips up our soul stride.
WE ARE WHAT WE LOVE
Our spiritual quest
is for what is good.
Anything good is
an emanation,
a pulsation,
a presence,
a particularization
of
God
"God alone is good."
Mark 10:17
"Every good and
perfect gift
is from above,
coming down from
the Father of the
heavenly lights..."
James 1:17
Mix it up with good
and we are
"ONEING"
in God.
We're "in" Love
"God is Love."
1 John 4:8
WE ARE WHAT WE LOVE
We love God in
God's presence
and good gifts.
So, we just love:
shrimp scampi
a Morris West novel
riding in a convertible
having friends over
Hymn Sings
growing a garden
Contemplative Prayer
playing tennis
working at Habitat for Humanity
a spiritual retreat
dancing
songs by The Brillance
getting dressed up
cooking
hiking
reading to a child
a freshly made bed
God is as close as
anyone and everything
Good
Genuine spiritual life
sure is spritely spirited.
We're full time,
flat out,
into good,
One in God Good
and do we ever
JUST LOVE IT
