embrace the newness

strange places

open the soul

think Dublin

city streets

drenched with rain

a pub on every corner

trains clacking outside my room

drunks shouting in the street

sirens

strangeness all around

I have two choice

to embrace the newness

and open myself to the experience

or to close down

and mutter under my breath

about

all the things that seem ‘strange’

the Sacred is always bringing new things to life

challenging

stirring

opening

so many changes in this world

so much new knowledge

dare we not go there

to God given newness?

Making Sacred Real

“They will become Godly when they will have God in their hearts.”

― Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi, The Religion of God

sacred presence

Spirit

Indwelling

filling us full

with all good gifts

filling us with

power

love

and so much more

infusing us

completing us

making Sacred real

Word become flesh

incarnate

Sacred

Children

World Changers

We are woven cloth

“There is nothing so secular that it cannot be sacred, and that is one of the deepest messages of the Incarnation.”

― Madeleine L'Engle

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

why do we always create a chasm

between heaven and earth

God and humanity

Sacred and secular?

why do we think that

spirit and flesh

do not go together?

it worked for Jesus

and he implied

that it works that way for us

we are woven cloth

spirit and flesh

fire and water

Sacred is so much a part of us

that we have within us

a little of God’s love

a little of God’s power

we are charged

with bringing heaven to earth

with making Sacred present

it’s a good thing

A little bit of God

goes a long way!
