Circles

Well Friends, lets blog a little. Kinda like a dance, flowing in and out of each others space in time, holding and processing each others thoughts. The mystery, the maddness, the mayhem of life are both overwhelming to the senses and stimulating to the soul. I chose this template because I have laerned now, viewing the world from the youthful playground of my old age, that life is just that ....a circle dance we do, and we are always being drawn back into that center, smaller and smaller until we are absorbed by some great something that receives our small speck, and takes it home. The world is swirling around us in magnificent power, force unleashed against our small planet, we the people of this planet have unleashed some, others spat out on the tongue of God for us to absorb with awestruck wonder. And my heart crys out with the simplest of questions...how do so many at one time squeeze thru the tunnel of light into the great hand of grace? Hundreds of thousands of people on the head of a pin vying for supremecy, for position, to enter the gates of whatever waits on the other side of this massive devastation. I suspect God is angry at the human race. We have failed so utterly to learn our lessons despite many prophets and many books, many claiming to the the "One", the real answer, from the real God. But each book hearlded humanities connection and people have used the pages to build their insurmountable walls of seperation. But I know there is only one and no matter how many names we choose to give him He will remain just as He is , always has been, and always will be. Therefore I shall simply allow myself to fall into the safety of belief that it is ok to remain in the mystery, to watch the mayhem, to touch the maddness and know that the circle spins and somehow safely holds the specks of creation and tenderly takes them home. For those of us left it is up to us to find a better way of loving one another. For if our beliefs in right and wrong serve to seperate us only furthur then there is something gravely wrong with that which we think is right.
