I live in a neat house.  On the day I set out the trash, garbage pickers drive by to look for good things.  They drive away when they realize my garbage is like everyone else’s.  They soon realize I don’t throw away good stuff.

For too many people life is a closed circuit TV.  But the channels to other  realities are open.  In what was once a quiet head, one wonders who left the gym door open at the end of the hall.

Do we care about the other’s survival?  Only to a point because we think we cannot survive without the other.  To insure our own survival, we try to mold the Other to the likeness of what we value.

We tire eventually of depending on sheer endurance.

Man should give his reasoning mind a chance because his heart has already instructed it.

Homilies may get to be boring but they are the tie that binds.  They are the moorings that keep us from floating without direction.

Too much is left undone by man’s cliché used as his out. . if God be willing.  The truth is, man is not willing.

Physical boundaries allow us to function in a physical world.  But our glimpses into other realities let it be known we are of sound mind and not boundaried in all worlds.

                                                            *****
It is our God Within with glimpsed promises of life everlasting.  To dismiss these is to dismiss a gift of spirit that physical life cannot express.
