All that has come before is but a blink in Eternity as is all that is yet to come. I sit on the left doorstep of this old New England Meetinghouse and am given a funnel-like sensory impression of energies, problems, worries, and concerns that have stepped out of this door ever since it was built. Some leaving lighter hearted due to “acknowledging God’s acceptance” of them and their situation. None of their fears and worries exist now but as a resonance from an earlier time. But if all time is happening simultaneously, then truly it is all here now. Our fears and worries will end too, so why not now? They are but a play of the hologram, the illusion; self-created and no more substantial than smoke. Instead, let your heart be glad. Gratefully embrace the whole spectrum of life and the world, the universe. Choose your thoughts and feelings deliberately for the bouquet that is your created lifetime, but remember, contrast makes each thought/feeling sweeter. Enjoy the spectrum of experience without judgment, both the good and the bad. My friend Linda Westfall recently said, “I enjoy my sadness as much as my joy.” It is very satisfying in the big picture to have experienced a broad-spectrum life full of contrast, deepening and intensifying our desires, our life-force. Expand and co-create with the universe, with your Greater Self.
The stonewall to the left front of the church has born witness to many lives. The triangular rock is easily identifiable in the 19th century photos of early parishioners. I sit upon a rock before it, place my left hand upon its crown, and say a blessing for all those who shall bear witness to its existence. May you be blessed, may your sorrows and fears dissolve, may you dance ever freely with all of creation, and may you come to know who you really are.
Triangle Rock. The Holy Trinity of God-Heart-Mind.
