Today it is a perfect fall day but soon rain and cold days will want us to turn on the fire place.Whether it is a fire in a fire place or a candle burning there is something that fascinates us.
The beautiful colours that dance before our eyes seem to touch our hearts with the spirit that is beyond us and yet burns within us.
Through the power of prayer to One I call God, others may call this higher power, the Universe, the All, the Absolute, the Groundof all Being, the Source, the True Light but the names do not matter for the Listener hears the whisper of all our hearts that expresses a desire to be loved.
Why did Moses experience God from within a burning bush. Why did God guide the people with a pillar of light and why did fire fall on the alter and burn up the sacrifices that Elijah had prepared. Why?
The love of God is so passionate, so alive, so powerful, so amazing that it can burn in our hearts as no other love because His love is pure and holy and will never be put out.
You and I are living in that love that gives us life and strength and has promised never to leave us.
If we had eyes to see into the spiritual realm maybe we would see the tongues of fire that came to rest on the believers on the day of Pentecost. We can disagree about theology and express our religion in different ways but let the fire of the Holy Spirit humble you and fill you with grace.
This is speculative philosophy or I call it divine immagination trying to describe" the desire beyond desire." [John Caputo]. To John of Syracuse University, God is not static, unchanging, and all-powerful but the dynamic source of inspiration- of truth, peace and justice.
I would add that God is the source of all LOVE that is being poured out upon us. I have a deep appreciation for the Bible but also for mystical experience. This goes beyond the awe of nature.
Prayer is the door to allowing scripture and the spirit to move beyond the intellect into a dream reality. I am not sure if that is the right word "dream" but it will do.

Well, you did say you were going to start to make your blog more of a spiritual journy thesis. Love is a good thing, when it turns into positive actions that help and heal. Zealouse overbearing controlling love, well, could it even be called love really when it is like that, is another matter.

Also we are all in a learning process. love mom
