Don’t be afraid…it’s not as scary as you think.
And I’m not a teacher - I’m an artist. I try to paint a picture. We can go flying into one, you know.
We just need to remember to bring our multi-colored paints with us - ALL of them.
Things just need to be painted as IS…or as close to reality as we see it. That way aren’t we closer to your god?
yes we can go…but i will need to teach and i dont want to paint…this god shit is silly for me…i cant take it seriously for myself…that is not where my mind is…where is your mind…
I wouldn’t say that the concept of a god is silly. I may be wrong here but if we humans imagined and dreamed it up, perhaps it does have some basis in reality. It is just the way we choose to conceive of that possible Reality and paint its picture that can get silly. Sometimes we just feel the need to slop so much paint indiscriminately on that canvas that it becomes almost impossible to see. Instead of looking at the canvas and allowing something to reveal itself to us slowly, we have to use up all of that paint and all of that canvas and slop, slop, slop, slop, slop!
Where is my mind at the moment? How can I even answer such a question? Or maybe I just did above.
this is an alert for us dummies…
mutcer is back…look out all christians who are also dummies…the big problem is about jesus…who,what,when,why…be careful…
I’d rather be the town learner…
Hiding under some leaves? That sounds ved’y ved’y interesting…may I join you?
And what were those leaves whispering to you?
Ah, little reptile, how can the leaves possibly protect you? A hurricane comes and topples down a mighty oak sometimes. What can the leaves do but hide you for a few moments …but in those moments, you might catch your breath and summon up your courage. But hiding in the leaves may be fun, as a game, and we might find some berries to eat. And you know what’s even nicer? Being under those leaves and listening to the steady sound of the rain and tasting its gift. And if we listen closely, those leaves might just teach us something.
“And someday there shall be such closeness that when one cries, the other shall taste tears!”
