For me, God is not our father who art in heaven, no more than a hoary bearded dude on a stone throne, or a guy on a cross. God is Everywhere and Everything and Everyone All Mixed Up Together. Got it? Okay, so tell me how you are an atheist – not believing in God – not believing in yourself and all that is swirling around you? Truly puzzling. <\/p>\n
Now take today. I had a direct talk with God – the Universe – my Ancestors – call it whatever you want but if I make up some other name other than God it sounds ridiculous – so let’s just say it loud and say it proud – I talked to God today and guess what happened – something happened. It was a direct response to my question. <\/p>\n
Then as Tin was going to bed, I got a call to go look at a house that was just listed and I jumped in the car with him in his PJs and me quasi dressed and we looked at it from the outside, we made an offer, and we waited, and it was turned down. Not a flinch. When it’s meant to be, it will be. Nothing is needed. Nothing is wanted. <\/p>\n
Today, I am grateful. <\/p>\n
i thank You God for most this amazing
\nday: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
\nand a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
\nwhich is natural which is infinite which is yes<\/p>\n(i who have died am alive again today,
\nand this is the sun’s birthday; this is the birth
\nday of life and love and wings: and of the gay
\ngreat happening illimitably earth)<\/p>\nhow should tasting touching hearing seeing
\nbreathing any\u2014lifted from the no
\nof all nothing\u2014human merely being
\ndoubt unimaginable You?<\/p>\n(now the ears of my ears awake and
\nnow the eyes of my eyes are opened)<\/p>\n— e.e. cummings<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
