The Conversation: I Found God, so now what?

"The Conversation: I Found God, so now what?" the ugliest thing happened here today, I could turn away and write of unicorns but I’ll write about beauty found in the ugliness anyway, like how a mother said goodbye running out of words throwing her child into the arms of strangers, so the child might have a better turn but I’ll write about beauty found in the ugliness anyway, of Love in all its strangeness, the mother bleeding heart lost throwing her child into the arms of strangers, so the child might have a better turn the gift of life a mother gives a child, that comes with all its strangeness of Love in all its strangeness, the mother bleeding heart lost imprints one day we’ll be together again, impressing my darling Love is never lost the gift of life a mother gives a child, that comes with all its strangeness the daughter stands tall talking to her mirror, her reflections become contagious Imprints one day we’ll be together again, impressing my darling Love is never lost and you would know me anywhere for you are the Goddess I love more than God the daughter stands tall talking to Her mirror, Her reflections become contagious the mother draws Her nearer and whispers to Her child throughout Her ages and you would know me anywhere for you are the Goddess I love more than God the runes of life are lost in tears and found on fire deep living in Heaven’s pages the mother draws Her nearer and whispers to Her throughout Her ages you will feel me in your heart, for there you’ll hear my voice so much clearer the runes of life are lost in tears and found on fire deep living in Heaven’s pages You are me and I am in You in all your deepest stages you will feel me in your heart, for there you’ll hear my voice so much clearer the words like braille that stroke the heart where Love like God does dwell found on fire deep living in Heaven’s pages (LadyLabyrinth/2024) Saturday April 13th, 3.20pm Bondi Junction, Sydney, Australia "Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children." (William Makepeace Thackeray)

What a very powerful write/story. Evil is everywhere & growing very fast. People need to turn away from evil but they don't. God cannot be in an evil space. The world has become a very sad place. Too bad for everyone. Have a very blessed day writing away........

When I consider the Madeleine Soto case in the U.S. I query "where was the Mother?"/God in all that (let's not forget the other recent innocent children murdered due to warped "Religious" reasoning as Zombies, (the Vallow Daybell case)...there are other children traumatised in many ways, including War/wars of other sorts. With regard to the Soto Case and Daybell Case, Summer Wells eg, and the recent Sebastian Rogers Amber Alert, U.S. - there are many other children in many other countries, whose mother/father/families fail them in the worst possible ways. I wonder if I am Evil for considering the "Death Penalty" for those lascivious or debased mentally afflicted offences against innocent children? I guess I could go to Hell for that...

I'm not sure how I would find beauty through Love in any of those crimes or the sense that God who is supposed to have the power to save children, failed somehow (to my way of thinking...and I know that thought will be debated). Or the summoning of "Christ Consciousness" towards perpetrators of evil, in those atrocious circumstances of crimes against children, is even possible. Everyone has their element of darkness lurking within them...no one is "pure" without fault. No one, that is except for perhaps Jesus of Nazareth...(there are other masters that walked similar paths to Him). Evil in all its forms, has always walked amongst us. "Evil" has been with us and in us (humanity) from time began, will it ever be eradicated, do we wait until that prophesied time...and when will it come?... "It" appears, not soon enough.

For a split second I saw the goodness of God in the act of a dying mother this past Saturday in Sydney, to save her baby in any way she could - this is the closest I come to God, that act of unconditional Love.

We have such stunning beauty over here in this country, terrain, oceans, wildlife, etc, we used to consider ourselves apart (immune) from such terror, the violence of other countries and their big cities... it is so sad when senseless acts of violence taint the openness of our mostly large hearted people (from all cultures). Police and media are reporting this is not terror related, but the perpetrator inflicted medically with mental affliction. So sad all round, not just here, but the whole world. My thoughts on it all, including "God", in response to Anaya's comment below. To me Pantoums are crazy (a type of madness poetically to write and interpret) and that seemed to fit the internal debate and the current conversation in PS re "God" at present, and yesterday's senseless act of violence in Sydney.

I saw the news today, a beautiful mother-- god, was taken from Her child on this day. This is a deeply saddening event, and my thoughts are with all those affected. I'm moved by your emotive heartbreaking narration. ~Anaya

So terribly sad, Anaya. So tragic the senseless slaughter here now in Sydney, and worldwide, that rips families apart sucked into the vacuum of trauma - but most traumatised of all, the children left behind gutted in so many life impacting ways, stranded in the wake of such madness, trying to put the pieces of their lives back in order. There will always be something missing – some will carry on as best they can, others will perpetuate the spiralling downward cycles that go hand in hand with trauma, PTSD, depression. The sadness tears fully open one’s heart. Grief and empathy.

When the conversation turns to God, it is hard to convince oneself, God exists. Where is God in all this horror? Is God hiding? When it comes to the cracks in that conversation, finding God in the midst of all this ugliness, one has to look much deeper than one would care to admit, to find the beauty in the message of the importance and truth of Love buried underneath all the dirt and rubble left behind that we find ourselves standing in.

This type of evil we witnessed here yesterday in Sydney, is not the first time, nor will it be the last time it will happen here or worldwide – it has been with us since time began. Will this type of evil, along with wars and destruction ever be eradicated? Is that at all possible? Yesterday pulled triggers for many. Certainly pulled triggers for me. I looked at the true beauty in the selfless act of a dying mother’s love for her daughter, to contemplate fully the strength and accuracy of Love...and where one could, if at all, find God in the midst of such horror – I turned towards that mother. At time of writing my thoughts in this response, two mothers confirmed slaughtered in yesterday’s massacre. At time of writing this 5 women dead and 1 man dead. The infant girl remains critical, yet stable watched over by her father and extended family … there stands Love.
