be courageous to put into play

How do I make things happen today? The response has to involve big things and little things. That necessitates attention. Thus:
—be vigilant to little and to big
—be courageous to put into play
—stretch
—ring the bells, calling, calling!

The use of imaginal biographies

We gain perspective on our lives by telling the biographies of people, even if imaginal. We can help another grow by asking for fanciful stories, perhaps step by step as one might coax a story from a 5-year old grandson.

What displaced the nuclear threat?

What displaced the nuclear threat to life on this planet, so worrisome in the 1980s? We do not eliminate our worries, we merely go on to larger, or at least more current, ones.

Ending up with no image of a personal God

So what if we end up with no image of a personal God? Since when was God owned by any one person? Or even by all persons, one at a time?

My difference with Kabbalah

Kabbalah suggests that our work is to restore the oneness that existed before divinity burst forth.

I differ, seeing that we can create a new oneness, more wonderful than the first, simply because we have all the growth and joy and tears from in between times added.

Seeing is not merely believing. Seeing is doing.

Thinking the thoughts is advancing the work. Getting these things out there helps make things happen. If you cannot think it, you cannot do it.

Seeing is not merely believing. Seeing is doing.

What does the inside of God look like?

What does the inside of G*d look like? All of this. The clouds and the rain and the storms as well as the sun and the breeze and the growing crops and nuzzling.

I have freedom and courage to speak my soul….

God is more than a worker at a bench: outside of it all, ready to discard projects that don’t turn out well. G*d is developing, growing, expanding, and in that, loving. I have permission and freedom to see God bigger: as big as the universe, as big as the all there is, and bigger than we can imagine all that to be. I have freedom and courage to speak my soul and my spirit.

To be heard/is life/….

To be heard
is joy
is life

To hear

nevertheless

To hear
is to take in
each other
