Participating in God

My

Beloved said,

“My name is not complete without

yours”

I thought:

How could a human’s worth ever be such?

And God knowing all our thoughts – and all our

thoughts are innocent steps on the path –

then addressed my

heart.

God revealed

A sublime truth to the world,

When He

Sang

“I am made whole by your life.  Each soul,

Each soul completes

Me”

We seek God

We seek to know about God

We seek to know God

We see to participate in God

and so we search

we read

we pray

we worship

we meditate

we go on walks

we participate in retreats

looking for God

perhaps

in all the wrong places

for God is

God is inside

God is inside each of use

deeply rooted

deep at the center of who we are

God completes us

but in a profound way we participate in

and define the sacred

how else can we be the “body”

it is this sacred presence that makes us “human”

that gives us our identify at the children of God

Namaste, the sacred in me salutes the sacred in you

The Christ in me salutes and honors the Christ in you

The Beloved in me senses, and connected with “the Beloved” in you

And this is where all compassion

All love

All generosity

Comes from

This is how the “way” of Jesus

becomes even a remote possibility

for how do I forgive

how do I act with compassion

how to I honor and respect

and yes

ah yes, love

those who are different from me?

who look different, sound different, smell different

how do I love those who believe different things

and how do I love

yes love

those who have hurt me, rejected me

those who have done horrible things to others

unless I can see in them

what I know and experience in me

the Presence?
