Living in Deep Time

There is an inherent and desirous dissatisfaction that both sends us and draws us forward, and it comes from our original and radical union with God. Jung said the God Image is a whole-making function. What appears to be past and future is in fact the same home, the same call, the same Mother, and the same God--but always a larger life on both ends. To live inside of the Divine is to live in deep time, where before and after become one. Our "life is indeed a luminous pause between two great mysteries, which themselves are one."

_______________________________________________

we are in between people

in between birth and death

in between home and home

in between God and God

we are both longing for that one from whom we came

and longing for that one to whom we go

we are longing our original unity and blessing

and longing for that time

when our communion with the sacred

becomes

a radical union

again

meanwhile

we live the mystery

taking a deep breath in that

“luminous pause”

always carrying Sacred Presence

in us

however awkwardly

always

always

finding our way home

reflecting the promise

of what was

and what is to come
