You know, the great spiritual power that matters is feeling life flowing through you and around you. It is the power to say you feel relaxed and connected, and that everything makes sense, and you feel hope, serenity, and excitement. This is all possible. I know it is, because I get moments of it. Your current physical circumstances don’t matter.
I have moments where I think of a relationship with God as like a wonderful relationship with a woman, but 1000 times better. This is certainly consistent with Sufi imaginings, as well as writers like St. John of the Cross.
In romance, there is this longing, this felt need for completion, to close the loop, to stop the endless dissipation into the horizon. This RELIEF, and this excitement.
Oh, I hope I see more clearly someday, and before God takes me.
