..and more #69

.

 What can I say,what should I say--I am happy.


The silence of the spheres is the music of a wedding feast. The more we persist in misunderstanding the phenomena of life, the more we analyze them out into strange finalities and complex purposes of our own, the more we involve ourselves in sadness. But it does not matter much because no despair of ours can alter the reality of things, or stain the joy of the cosmic dance which is always there.


I am in a most peculiar place lately--at a serene place--a "here" space that is unique and entirely satisfying. I need nothing. I feel no guilt, no sin, no blame and no need for assurance--I know love and know I am loved. I know all, I understand  my life and I  understand God--I am so very grateful for the knowledge, wisdom an insight that I have been blessed with. Love--is all there is. I rest in it. I revel in it. I find freedom in it.

As for communication--it is all in the heart, soul, spirit and mind. Words are only necessary for the one who needs assurance, who is unsure, who vacillates and who does not know God. I rest within the silence of God, in all that is --which is God, whom is God.





 

No fear

What is there to say--

The Peace of Wild Things

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

— Wendell Berry

Lately so much has changed in my heart--I can truthfully confess that I am at peace, I have no need for anything--I know where I am, where I am going and how I feel I feel no burden, guilt or blame for anything--I love .
