monday morning ponderings.......
Whatever God you believe in
We come from the same one
Strip away the fear
Underneath it's all the same love
About time that we raised up
We come from the same one
Strip away the fear
Underneath it's all the same love
About time that we raised up
I spend much of my time watching and pondering the mysteries of the human race. We are so different yet so much the same---our own little comfortable boxes filled with ideas we've been passed and given and had layered upon us without us even knowing someone was placing something upon us--we just learned to carry the weight around.
I wonder..
wonder...
wonder..
pondering and pondering and pondering...
why, because, what if....
culture and religion and the experiential after effects of living in a home with someone who too wears the masks of their ancestors
...what if...
we learned to break open our little world,
tear a crack in our safe little abode of a box
and
took off those glasses that are colored with something other than our prescription of what is right and good and valued...
...
how do we
hurt each other
prick each other
rumble and grind against each other and
then in the same breath
say
God....IT is love...
go to church
sit on a pew
go home and
then
talk about the people next door....whose names we don't know and whose story remains untold....
If we
open it up,
take it off,
strip down a level of our wall
walk through the fear
what will there be
...
what will we find
eye to eye
toe to toe
people to people
underneath our multi layered safety zone
underneath that stuff that
causes us to push away others,
roll our eyes,
think those bad thought...
underneath all those layers we are burdened with
underneath it all
is
a seed from which we came
planted deep inside the hidden crevices of our heartspace
rooted in
love that flows from the basement of time
is
humanities hidden potential
...
to offer grace,
extend mercy,
meet hand and heart and soul
and
stand
eye to eye
where
we will realize
....
There is only
LOVE
that
remains.
May we all
try really hard
just for a moment or perhaps all day long
to
crack open our little
boxes of delusional safety
allow that seed to spread out some roots
and
share a bit of ancient truth...
LOVE
...
Be a great Monday!
blessings...the radical rambler

Pam, Your blog is funny, challenging and eye opening. Thanks for sharing it with me. Your photography is breathtaking! And today, you have so inspired me that I will try to stop the eye rolling and the gossip and remember that I am as guilty as they. I will break out of my safety box and leave only love. Thanks for sharing it with me.
