Yet Remembers and Feels

I need not understand to love... I need not agree to love... I need only be to love – what is at my core, when the layers of fear and doubt stripped away – The center of my being I need not understand...yet cannot deny, having found centers, nucleus in all creation. I need not agree, but to disagree, is to disrupt my spin and balance, the orbits of my universe apparent. I do not know a fraction of the all – but look out and beyond, realizing there is an all.... And I a part.... I count the digits on my hand, reminded that when one is gone, something of me yet remembers and feels....

Reading your deep poem again: I see a baby lying & cooing at the ceiling ... It is pure love as we may find here. We must be vulnerable and ego-infants, then love alone remains when all else is lost/ stripped away. Shalom shalom Father DeMino, PTL

And he did ask for his clothes be sent to Francis the Father, who wanted to disinherit the would -be saint, for not becoming a great scholar.

There are a few saints that I recall often, not that there are bad ones or better ones...one of my favorites is Francis -- how, when he was making his departure, he asked to be stripped, left naked on the side of a hill, so he could leave this earth as he entered. Love was his garment~his very form. Thank you for your wise and thoughtful words, Anil. Blessings my friend!

That first stanza is one for the ages, Joe. Just need to be to love. Maybe you can put this to music somehow... Brilliant!... Blessings, and a Bounty of Love, Gershon

I say during evangelism: there are some 400, ooo, ooo, ooo stars in the Milky Way galaxy alone. In the entire universe, stars add many trillions more, yet each is ancient light, will be missed, as would one among 7-9 billion humans. Yes, Joe, the hand & human body is used to teach diversity IN UNITY, even with Paul in Corinthian epustle. Love-ly. Amen

I went to Corinthians, at your suggestion. It is always a joy to see that my work has some elements of Truth. Thank you, my friend. Blessings.
