"God" is a word we have been using to describe the life force at the root of all for a very, very long time. And we must admit we have made "God" in our image. Have we boxed this life force, this energy, this "eternal delight" in by doing so? In naming it, have we created a way to control or contain it? Have we unwittingly created a golden calf just as the Israelites did?
Tuesday: At Last
As the ultimate expression of God's love, creation is yearning to tell us that we are inextricably linked together. Every move, great or small, toward this linkage is a movement toward Life. Every move away from it is a movement toward Death.
Thursday: Disturb Us
"Disturb us, O Lord, when with the abundance of the things we possess, we have lost our thirst for the water of life; when having fallen in love with time, we have ceased to dream of eternity; and in our efforts to build the new earth, we have allowed our vision of the new heaven to grow dim." (Sir Francis Drake)
Friday: Risk It
There are three risks we can't afford not to take: 1. Believing we are each created in the image and likeness of God; 2. Believing we are each irreplaceable and unique in all the world; 3. Believing we are each of authentic worth solely because we exist.
