THE TELL...SHARING OUR FEAR INVITES LOVE

We must form squads of love and make a path through together … no matter how fearsome the mob. Only a community—even one that goes unnoticed in the crowd—the band that refuses to join the rabble—can keep us from going completely over the edge. -- Diana Butler Bass 

The new realization, the spiritual insight, is that the fearsome mob is our fear and by grace for our benefit...it got birthed with the blinding flash that nothing turns us to God faster than fear.

This rough and rugged road paved with anxiety that we are walking today is our blessing. I know this from my eyebrows up...as my heart pounds and my stomach churns. 

There...that is the Soul's call for company! Tell a friend...share the "benefit"...invite the "squads of love" that is at our elbow, sitting on our shoulder, clinging to us body and soul. That's where the love of God lives...with us, within us, without us. 

We must needs open our self to that love.  If it looks like a mudpie to us, it is a miracle aborning to God. Our opening to it is the Tell.

Paraphrasing Thaddeus Golas: We must go beyond reason to love...to the Tell, to God.

Thank you.
