The power is yours

honour and glory

and power

and power

and highlights

and starts

and tributaries

and strength through

weathery storms

and      

    the seed –

the conception –

you could carry on

in the midst of adversity –

Could even win.

You press a cool stone against my

forehead with your palm and say shh,

your fingers resting lightly in my hair,

your eyes closed.

Praying, maybe.

You gave me that stone, and whatever

was written on it, I never saw,

became part of me. I carry it everywhere.

I've been spirit lately - a three-day image of a hollow me, all colorfully pixellated edges, fading from this plane. It takes me from myself and allows me to stand up straight and be light. I remember this physicality is not everything, the end, or anything for that matter, so I walk about blessed because I'm in Him. It started with a paragraph I wrote a friend:

Jars of clay has a song called ‘Boys’ which is amazing. Their whole ‘The Long Fall Back to Earth’ album is very good. One of the lines in Boys is ‘not to undermine the consequence, but you are not what you do.’ You are a product of God’s faith, made by Him, for Him, like Him, and so Him. There’s no distance between you and him, between me and him, between you and I, because the spirit is IN us. We are IN GOD, so GOD. I am Creative because he is creative; I am able to do miracles because the world has no hold on me; I am strong because He is strong; I can love because I am loved; I AM IN LOVE. As long as we think we can fall away from him, we do. Thanks for the padding on the ‘I still love you’, but I’m not worried about it. There is a way to freedom. What I consider ‘my struggle’ (note the ownership, and so definition of self) is my way to freedom, and as I overcome I grow in light and my life becomes more full because I’m more present in Him and so there for every moment. I change. I grow light. I am becoming because as God expands so do I. Put off your small mindsets regarding who you think he is, and try to take in, not even who he is, try to take on HIS eyesight; how He sees. It changes everything.

and this:

I can’t go into the male/female thing right now. But age cannot be questioned. If you were a minute older than me you’d be my elder. For me to recognize and maintain this is to keep things holy in my life. I could equalize us, but that just raises me up. Whatever knowledge I have you can absolutely glean from, but if I think for a second I have more than you, I am becoming like God because somebody needs me wants me and I’m suddenly justified by the goods on earth…identifying with all the stuff that I got from other people.

I only have any real idea of who I am when I am looking into God. Everything else is just distraction. I am less me, less human, when I am moving in God because I don’t have to do good or bad or right by anyone – I’m  not impressive because God’s impressed with me and I don’t need love because I’m filthy with it. I’m lighter and brighter because the earth has less hold on me: I’m not a victim of circumstance, but served by it all. This is how miracles happen – my ideas of earthly limits begin falling away and I see God for who He is: consistent, pure love and rectification. That’s me. That’s you.

Who are you? Where do you find yourself? Not just in the earth, because circumstances come and go, but your headspace: are you at peace or are you in a muddle? God's got order for you, a saturation that settles out the sediment and purifies your conscience and next step. He's easy and accessible. This is what Faith is for - liberation. This is what Grace is for - enabling. Be strong.
