I have pictures of friends on my poster board next to my desk. Among many pictures are three of two of my friends, and I just realized that in not one picture is their face showing. Each is holding a different dog, and each dog is right up in their face with a look of total adoration...possibly that's their "I'm hungry" look, but I don't think so.
I've been dwelling on my recent inner revelation that impersonal love is the consciousness of God or Christ. It, impersonal love, is the answer we seek, the way of acceptance, the way we go beyond our reasoning mind to love. In my pondering, I've asked for clarification...is that my wishful thinking?, my trying to make all pretty?, Truth?, or something my mind has not yet grasped?
Then, just this morning, I read Fr Richard Rohr's "Daily Meditation," in which he wrote: This development of love consciousness is the true Second Coming of Christ. There it is: my recent BFO in re impersonal love...it is love consciousness, and it is of God, of Christ.
It was with that gift that I glanced at my board and noticed neither of my friends' faces were showing, only shared adoration coming to and from them. It matters not from whence it comes, adoration is of God. Or, as my atheist friend Tom always said, "God...dog spelled backwards."
Don't tell me God doesn't know my name. And yours. And Ruckus's, too, for that matter.
Thank you.
