Unity: Believing in Love

I believe that God/Love meets each of us where He knows we will recognise and know Him in our own way.

For us who know and love, or want to know and love, Jesus as God who is Love...

It seems all Jesus (also known as Love) wants us to do,
is to believe that what He is telling us is true;
that He is who He says He is;
and we am too...

"That they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be one in us, . . . so that the world may know that you have sent me."

*******
Fine print...
"The desire to recover the unity of all Christians is a gift of Christ and a call of the Holy Spirit."
Finer print...from the Catechism of the Catholic Church

Feeling God: Feeling Love

I believe we are ultimately saved by our Desire for Grace (Grace could be defined as "closeness to God").

*Have you ever cried your guts out and been washed with grief over the loss of a loved one or a friend?
*Have you ever loved someone so truly and so deeply and not been loved back by that person, but still somehow in some way loved him/her anyway?
*Have you ever made a mistake and wanted to start over again?
*Have you ever been filled with compassion or pity for a very poor or sick person?
*Have you ever been stabbed in the heart i.e., hurt to the core by a situation but still loved the situation enough to want to make amends with it even though you may not be able to
*Have you ever longed for something you couldn’t quite name or put to words, but it burned inside you anyway?
*Have you ever laughed so hard you cried?
*Have you ever given part of yourself to something and never expected anything in return?

to me…that’s feeling close to God.

There is more
*Have you ever been head over heals in love and had someone love you back in the same way?
*have you ever felt "taken away" from the world even for a moment when looking into the ocean or beautiful sunrise or view?
*Have you ever felt moved to draw a picture or sing a song or write a story or a letter or a poem?
*Have you ever desired to create something together with someone else?
*Have you ever loved someone so much you wanted to give them the world?

that’s feeling close to God

There is alot alot more…

Fulfilling Love: Capacity for a Hole


There is a hole inside, or at least the potential for a hole inside, of each of us.

I pour my heart and soul into the hole
and it flows out.
This hole is open ended.

I want, I work, I wait, I wonder..

With my heart and soul I could build a floor, some walls, a roof on the hole.
But then I would need really need some windows.
I open the windows -
my heart and my soul would flow out again.
What about a door to let some back in?

I wonder...?

Peace and Love
Keren

Easter 2009 - 2nd Sunday of Easer

Reflections on my Lenten Journey Through Psalm 119 with
some help from the Gospel of John

Wisdom of God
The moment I grasp you,
you have already begun your escape.
You are infinitely accessible
but not containable.
I carry you but I do not hold you.
Your law is written on my heart,
to be displayed to all by its actions;
yet, I have to look inward,
on the right side of my heart,
to read it.

Easter Octave 2009 - Saturday,

Jesus, it has been a week since
I dreamed you came to me
while I slept...
your breath your voice my name.
Like Eve, captive in a closed place,
you died to forgive me,
you died to save me and
bring me back to your perfect light.

Then I saw you inside me with Your eyes closed,
maybe dead, maybe sleeping, maybe peacefully resting...

You inside me is all I need to know.

Easter Octave - 2009 - Friday's Child is Loving and Giving

Father,
It is Friday again.
It has been a week now
since I saw You watching me
as I walked the path to death.
I recognised You even in your hat.

Even though it was a cruel crowd and dark day,
I saw your smile, the smile in Your heart.

You knew I would rise.
You knew I would forgive them all.
That is what we do.

Did You see the playful little boy following me?
and the reverent little girl leading me?

I am for Love and I am for Giving.
I wonder if I was born on a Friday too?
My mother says yes.

Peace and Love
Keren

Easter Octave 2009 - Thursday - Rainbow Lady


This is a painting by Kasimir Malevich. I call it "rainbow lady"

Her shape/form of pure white light is somehow broken in half and we are allowed to see what her "insides" look like...her colors, her pure colors....
pure Black too is there

Black...in "light" terms... is "voided" color,
White...is "occupied" color.

In art-material terms, ironically, it is just the opposite..
White is "no color";
black is "all colors," in some measure, mixed together.

I "met" Kasimir in my subconscious earlier this year, it was in early February I believe...I know it was before Lent. It is unbelievable to me to have a cross-century relationship with a painter whose realistic figurative work, IMHO, is even similar to mine, not to mention his use of color.

I don't believe I had ever heard of him before. I know I had not seen his realistic paintings - he is most known for his abstracts.

Anyway... more on that later.

Re: Turnloveinsideout.

I want to make sure you know. I am not quitting or abandoning this website. Neither are the owners... The owners of the Site, and The Turnloveinsideout url and trademark; the people who developed the site and its purpose, aka Jim and Anne, are simply moving it to the Divine Nobodies Network (link posted soon).

Jim and Anne, originally asked me to blog here almost 3 years ago...can it be? or was is just two. July 2007 I believe, yes just two. OK

Now, Jim and Anne are involved in a wonderful on-line community "Divine Nobodies", which is inclusive of "divine-nobody lovers" (like me) (and you too of course)

Jim and Anne asked me to move my blogging their TLIO site on the Divine Nobodies Network. They asked me to lead/facilitate it , which I am not sure I know how to do, but I will give it my Spirit!

Please note my emphasis on they "asked" me. This is important. More on this later.

I may also continue to blog here on Blogger - turnloveinsideout blogspot, or word press (someone told me it was more user friendly), or I may blog on my own website or my myspace page. I dont know yet.

God's Spirit is Everywhere!
The spirit I carry in my body is God's Spirit.
His Spirit is inside everybody!
It is realized by those who are open to It and accept It,.
I am occupied with It :o)
I know this.
I am convinced of it, and I have confidence in it.
I am human too tho,
so I have all the bodily and mental struggles that come along with beig Human.
But I know with out a doubt, My Spirit is God's Spirit.

I don't deserve It.
I never expect it when I feel It - maybe I am getting there though.
I can't plan for It - maybe I am getting there though.

I can count on It (God's Spirit) to do with me what He Wills not what I will.

God bless you.
Peace and Love
Keren
