Just a Thought

So silly we are – We, the races of peoples... seeking what is already found, apparent: Dark Matter? Turn out the lights. God? See ourselves and the vastness around us, both near and far. Nothing is missing but our own explanation – learn ourselves and meet a universe....

I love this. Learn ourselves and meet a universe. Important message to observe what is shown to us every day in the vastness around. Well done Joe :)

Thank you, Heidi; I don't think life is so secretive, but to the contrary, a streaker of exposition. Joe.

Your approach makes good sense to me - the truth is far closer to inspection than many suppose. I personally see divinity within ourselves and those near to us, rather than in a remote sky; as you have so elegantly and succinctly suggested in these perceptive words.

Hi Geoffrey; it answers for me a lot of questions that a more traditional approach has never done to my satisfaction. Have a great evening my friend! Joe.

We should seek to find within ourselves, the goodness and grace of God. If we all did that the world would be a better place. :)Paulette

Absolutely!! Change ourselves is where we must begin if to change the world for the better. Thank you, Paulette, a wise and thoughtful response as usual. Blessings my friend. Joe.

Indeed... how can we see with these blinded eyes?

For sure, Pashang; we only see what we allow ourselves to see. Without honest introspection, there can be no true clarity. Joe.

I studied Biblical History to find answers yet I know the truth, we find faith within and accept what our soul shows and tells us. Love your approach and angle to this beauteous write. hugs and blessings, JENNIFER.

Thank you, Jennifer; I agree, there is nothing missing, all inside of us from the beginning. Blessings my friend. Have a beautiful day!

A didactic way to "preach truth " so much said in ten lines. You know, Joe, I looked on the ground & complained about plastics & pollution. I remembered to gaze upward ... The moon had been there sailing white clouds all the time. Shalom shalom Father DeMino. Thx

Hi Anil; and the truth is, we only see in the outside world what is yet in ourselves. If I complain about darkness, it is because it cast still a shadow in me -- what we focus on, is near our hearts. Focus on lack, and we will have poverty; focus on illness, and there will be plagues. And so on.... If a person injures us, and we do not forgive and forget, that injury is personified by memory. Of course, to be oblivious to wrong, is also to be selfishly guarded. Joe.

Ah, learn ourselves and meet the Universe what a brilliant line Joe, love it, soup mail

Hi Mystic; so pleased some of this rambling had a bit of worthwhile merit. I know it is preachy -- what the heck, it is a reminder to myself as much as anything else. I like to get things out honestly, for feedback and clarification. So, this one is a bit selfish...written for me to be taught by others. Joe.
