Tidbits To Chew On

I'm finally back in Seattle again after several months in Silicon Valley. For months, I floated around. But now I'm grounded again. I haven't felt this secure since December of last year.

How wonderful is this world. Aren’t we blessed? I have all my limbs, friends, health and family. Sometimes, it moves me to tears how blessed I feel. But if everything were to be taken away in an instant, would I still be ok? Hopefully.

Each person that has appeared in your life, whether they have helped or hurt you (yes, even the ones that have left you bleeding in the street), is a Gift of God. (try that on for size) (heh, but the people are not necessarily God's gift to humanity)


HOW GOD RESPONDS TO THE SOUL

That I love you passionately comes from my nature,
For I am love itself.
That I love you often comes from my desire,
For I desire to be loved passionately.
That I love you long comes from my being eternal,
For I am without an end and without a beginning.

-Mechthilde of Magdeburg
