For the Sake of Love

Me: "God, was it necessary for my husband to die in order for me to be spiritually & creatively where I am now?"

God: "No child. There were many other paths to this moment. This has been a sorrowful walk, indeed."

I realize that God's pain is even deeper than mine. Without compassion, God cannot be God. Choosing to be with us, where we are, means taking on our sorrow, too, more deeply than we can feel - for the sake of compassion. For the sake of Love.

Pay Attention

Pay attention. The heightened tension/anxiety that accompanies creativity MEANS SOMETHING. Be alert! It may mean positive spiritual movement, or it may mean Enemy. If it turns to high anxiety & fear, it becomes the work of negative force.
