Dear All of Us,
I'm eighty-four and
I'm having a red hot
AFFAIR
YES I AM
WONDERFUL
NON-STOP
PULSATTING
PASSIONATE
Can't get enough of it!!
I realize that might
surprise you, and that in
more than one way,
am I right? Hum?
Ta Ta Now!
Well, it's the
God's honest hottest truth.
And yes, my wife knows
all about it and
she encourages it.
Now before you try to call
Dr. Ruth Westheimer
back from the beyond
to interpret a tinky
old man's coupling,
let me do some
explaining about this
AFFAIR
I had nothing to do
with starting it.
Actually,
I was nothing.
I wasn't.
And then
LOVE ITSELF
started me,
shared itself as me,
has been luring me
ever since and unabatedly
into a completeness, a
ONENESS
hotter and tighter than
on anybody's bed in all history.
It took me awhile
to catch on and
start to say yes.
It was warm wonderful,
that graduated to off
the charts past hot.
Sometimes I stupidly
left the love chamber
responding to the
Call of Cold
me-ism
apart from
us-ism
That meant alone,
naked in frigid darkness.
LOVE ITSELF
just waited and wanted,
welcoming me hot back,
no questions asked,
passionate embrace
enfolded.
If all this strikes you
as a bit much,
let me lovingly lean on you.
It is more than a bit much.
It is much more, it's more
on its way to endless
ALL
At eighty-four
I see it, I say it
like never before.
It's so simple.
"God is love."
1 John 4:8
That's
who,
how,
what
is
God
The only way God
ever
has been
is
will be
LOVE
Bible writers, theologians,
spiritual guru's, preachers
- and me here -
always understate, misstate
the marvel that is
LOVE ITSELF
Too often all sorts of
angers to pettiness
are projected onto
GOD
At best we God Talkers
only catch a ray of the sun.
LOVE ITSELF
is the dynamic of existence.
It is the only thing that is.
Everything and all are a wrap in.
The only thing God knows
how to do is
LOVE
The very etymology of
AFFAIR
from the Latin is
ad = to
facere = to do, to make
All God wants "to do" is
have an
AFFAIR
MAKE LOVE
endlessly
As for us, we do sometimes
mess up, pervert the purity of
LOVE ITSELF
We misconstrue, misdirect
The Energy of the Universe
We screw up
us, other, planet.
That's anything that
is not pure love.
We all know it:
- me before you and over you,
- twisting people and nature
to our isolated and
isolating selfishness,
- suckering into faux realities
such as grabbing
power and privilege,
- tolerating, even supporting,
the slaughter of multitudes
used as fodder between hatreds,
- settling for surface satisfaction
rather than substantive,
solid goodness -
- living excess costing
people and planet poverty
- gotta be the center of things
rather than swinging and swaying
with people and place in the
Dance of Existence
of
Love itself
It gets so real
and really good
- So God -
when we do accept
Our Lover's embrace:
rocking a baby to sleep,
enjoying a good meal,
working our toes and
all other parts off raising a family,
letting our gifts pour out for others,
calling out evils new or old such as
anti-Gospel white nationalism,
"My country, right or wrong"
(sadly a direct quote
of Cardinal Spellman),
- taking no more than I need in life
so that others may have a life,
- making life a party for others
rather than dragging them to
a wake of war and all sorts of it,
- taking hits for others,
- speaking up, paying up,
voting up
for
people and ecojustice,
- being marinated in Scripture,
- merging with others
in Christian community
so real it's
a Holy Communion in
LOVE ITSELF
- regularly closing the door of busy
and opening the door intimate
to naked inter-penetrating
ONENESS
Sitting here typing to you just now
I am, as old men often are - cold.
So I just put an Irish wool throw
over my knees.
That's a material presence,
embrace of
LOVE ITSELF
Once we catch on that
anyone,
anything
that is essentially good
is a moment,
is a motion in our
Love Making
in
LOVE ITSELF
At eighty-four, both
the calendar and body
signal the soon breakout
to
Divinely All
Between now and when
I intend to go wild in
God's Love Bed
of
everyday life.
Let's all pile in.
It's meant to be
one heaven of an
AFFAIR
******
If you're up for a much better,
in fact, a divinely inspired
version of all this,
do spend heart and time with
The Song of Songs
I recommend the version in
The Message
translation.
It's titled there as
The Song of Soloman
It's hot stuff!
It's free online.
Here's a trailer:
"Restless in bed and
sleepless through the night,
I longed for my lover..."
Chapter 3 Verse One
"...I'm a walled-in virgin still,
but my breasts are full -
And when my lover sees me,
he knows he'll soon be satisfied."
Chapter 8, verse10
Told you so!
Hey, in all my years
I've never heard such
read in church.
HUM!
