I am a wanderer. I would say that I am a seeker, but sometimes I have no idea what I might be seeking, so I will stick with wanderer. This blog is more a public journal than anything. I don't claim to have life figured out. I simply stumble from mystery to mystery, and share my reflections along the way. Sometimes I feel burdened, and trudge. Sometimes? Well sometimes grace breaks through, and its time to dance.

The Intimate God
They say that God is a mystery
a transcendent being
who is way too big
to be embraced or understood
the other
But God is also immanent
so close
so personal
that God dwells within
each one of us
perhaps only in
the tiniest corner of the heart
but God is there, a Presence
and being there
God knows us
so much better than we even know ourselves
God may be a mystery to us
But we are no mystery to God
instead we are understood
each hurt, each fear
each heartache, each moment of loneliness
is God's as well as ours
yes God understands
not just our joy by our pain
not just out moments of love and compassion
but our moments of anger
God understands when we are saints
and when we are sinners
and understanding
loves and forgives
and if we will allow
heals
