Dear All of Us,
It happens to us all.
We can't find it
and it's important
- the car keys (OK, "fob"),
- documentation for
a tax audit,
- our credit card,
- grandma's recipe for
the world's best ever
chocolate cake.
Sometimes we look in
the wrong place
for the right thing.
It's frustrating in its futility.
No matter how hard and
persistently we go at it,
It's a No Go!
So our spiritual lives.
Too much, too long,
too many have looked
in the wrong place for God.
It's frustrating in its futility.
It's the misbegotten
spirituality of
Hide and Seek
seeking God hidden
somewhere God isn't
and we can't find or be.
God is the Immediacy of Here.
"I AM"
God is the "IS" of all that is.
God is ex-"IS"- tence itself.
God "IS" within and about
us and all that
"IS"
So how do we
Soul Forth
to
Find God,
better
Find Ourselves
In God?
It's a Go
when we energetically relax.
We free fall into what is, as is.
We don't have to find or fuel it.
It's already here and perking.
We lighten up to be powered up.
We don't produce existence.
We participate in existence.
We vigorously accept
the surge of
Existence
Reality
Being
Actuality
and let it pulse and power us.
That Energy of Existence
cascades
into us
through us
out of us
meets and merges
with unending more
all about us
It's simply divine.
We call it
God.
God is an active verb
more than a set noun.
God means
infinitely more
and different than
the God of
Standardized Religion
hidden out there
who knows where.
We can't figure
The Energy of Existence
all that much all at once.
We sure as heaven
can experience it as it
Moments Now.
Part of the fun is
the active mystery of it all.
We're like a kid
on a rollercoaster.
We really don't know
too much about
how it's put together
or powered
but
IT'S A GO
AND
WE GO
WITH IT
go up steep slow
go down sheer fast
go curve and swerve
Such so it is with
the up, down,
curve and swerve
as we go/grow
in Ex -"iS" - tence.
We energetically relax
into what "IS"into as "IS"
into Good
into God.
We're
"All In,"
present to
the presenting
of God Good:
holding a baby,
riding the bus,
heavy lifting,
negotiating
a business transaction,
having the relatives over,
soaking in scripture,
doing the laundry,
closing the apartment door
quietly,
baby-sitting a grandchild,
deep in contemplation,
patient with our best pest,
playing the violin,
gardening,
sharing a communion,
listening to the brook babble,
going out for dinner,
texting a friend.
If we are the head sort,
we ponder, study, consider,
as fully as we can.
We understand that
what "IS" is endless
and we have forever with it
It's a Go
and do we ever and forever!
Yes, we openly accept God as
God Presents
in this moment, place and way.
Accepting,
we respond
as we can
with awe and joy
fully participating
in the presencing.
We sing the song.
We bake the cake.
We fold into
deepest contemplation.
We drive the car.
We savor the wine.
We hug-a-love.
We straighten out the garage.
The Divine Dynamic
flows through us.
Not a trace of
Hide and Seek

MEMORIAL DAY
We lovingly remember the dead.
We lovingly remember the living
who will be dead if we war more.
"Peace I leave you.
My peace I give you."
Jesus
Takers?
