Regretting the past and fearing the future...
I was regretting the past and fearing the future.
Suddenly, my Lord was speaking:
"My name is I am."
Suddenly, my Lord was speaking:
"My name is I am."
He paused.
I waited. He continued,
"When you live in the past
with its mistakes and regrets,
it is hard. I am not there.
My name is not I WAS.
When you live in the future,
with all it’s problems and fears,
it’s hard. I am not there.
My name is not I WILL BE.
When you live in this moment
it is not hard. I am here
my name is I AM."

This is a very cute posting. But, I think it is tied to a human perception of linear time. It seems to me that, with all due respect to Him, He is speaking to His radiating into all existence- all at once. Such as; I am before the beginning, I am after the end. I am at your birth, and I am at your death. I am at your salvation...and with all things: I am. Time to a spirit is not a restraint or a definition. Or even a dimension. A second is a thousand years, and a thousand years is as a second. A cute story, but is it the whole story? I have faith that He is in our past, our present, and our future at His will. If not, how then does He inform the prophets? He knows us before we are born, in so many ways. And, sure, it is natural for us do ascribe our attributes to Him, but when we do so...
ofcourse it is tied to our human perception and this is not the whole story.
I just think this is a good reminder for us not do dwell on the past or fear the future and learn to live in the here-and-now, because after all, as humans, NOW is when we can talk to God and be with God... ofcourse God is in our past and in our future, but NOW is when we can enjoy it at each moment in time...
I hope that made sense...
Of course, that made sense. ;)

Not A Small Part of Me
Across the windswept ice-cold ocean,
my memories and dreams each night,
soar aimless, but with direction,
like Puffins in their flight.
They land upon a distant shore.
Searching after that hoped for delight,
of a long lost wished for happiness.
To feed my soul, bringing it a renewal.
My thoughts, on you, alight.
Sure, memories of some beautiful nights,
with the full moon bathing in its light,
the Hallgrímskirkja, and more:
far across the Faxaflói,
snowy cloud capped mountains, so blue,
were such a beautiful winter sight.
All this fades away before
the beauty I see in you.
You have so much more that fills my eye,
my heart and my memory.
I know that if I never see you again,
it wouldn't shorten my life one bit, until I die
but, I would be so much poorer, my friend.
I miss you, and I always will,
until my very end.
Gleðileg Jól :)
