Divisions of Being

Love is thought needing a subject and predicate lover and object blossom and voyeur dreaming fond connections, often crossing taboos of distance… exchanging scents and feel, the bow, rudder and keel of relationship Yet, that mystery remains the lone whale basking seeming above the ripples the albatross on a still night soaring on unseen current a collapsed sail undisturbed by bleeding sunlight which will I be today? God or His Man?

outstanding imagery, Joe. The title indicated the profundity of your words.Your question at the end makes for pondering for some folks. Well done...enjoy your evening, Sara

The question at the end: I believe we are only consciously separated from God. Physical/spiritual (spiritual is also substance) separation is not possible. It is illusion of lesser ego -- Free Will not fully developed and understood. We are made of God Substance. There is no actual outside of God. God's creation comes forth from Himself. I lean more toward Christian Mysticism than mainstream Christianity.

Hi Victor: I too, enjoy being man. (Matthew 5:45 -- (45) so that you may be like[a] your Father in heaven, since he causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. • John 14:12-14 -- (12) Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.) Blessings my friend.
