living God

I am now seated between the pond and the mansion behind me
Seagulls, pigeons, geese, ducks of all sorts enjoying the beautiful lovely sunny weather although we're all wrapped up in our coats, hats, and all sorts to keep us warm!
Despite feeling a bit unwell, I am so glad I decided to go out and walk to Forty Hall.
I needed my trees...

While enjoying my surroundings and being part of it, I've got my headphones on listening to the Tibetian-Indian Meditation music, listening to the birds singing, squaking. Chickens in some distance farm  crowing and cookle-doodling, seagulls cooing, children chattering to their parents or grandparents, playing on their bikes, passersby chattering away their life stories with a friend minding their own business, enjoying themselves and my Tibetian gong music gong-ing in my headphone.... all very perfect and peaceful!!!

I started walking, exploring my surrounding (even though I've been here before) and suddenly I found myself standing in the middle of a stretch of 2 rows of trees each by my side on a plain wide field, listening to "Walking into the Himalaya to Meditate" music, looking straight down the rows of trees, occasionally looking at the bright blue skies stretched far and wide beyond my eyes, seagulls flying above me casting a shadow over me and the fields as they fly by, with a faint half moon silouhette on my far right high above the skies...
... I felt One
One with nature
as my centre connected with my surrounding.

Connecting with trees gives me life
They bring me back home.. to my deepest self

They centre me
They calm me
They give me their peace

God with me
me with God

God in me
me in God

One

One with the trees
One with the Universe
One

Oneness




New Year!

Christmas, the holiday seasons and the1st of January, the new year has come and gone.
The New Year is here!
New Beginnings (again).
I am glad I am given another new beginning...
How will I be living this new beginning?

I don't know...
But I hope I am ...

I've been relating a lot with Jeff Brown and this is one I read and hold dear to my heart.
He found words for my heart and my thought.

"I am tired of hearing what God is from head-tripping men.
I am tired of hearing what God is from isolationists on a spiritual quest.
I am tired of hearing what God is from lovers of detachment.
I want to hear about a juicy God, a creative God, a relational God.
A God that arises
when we jump into life and stop playing it safe,
watching it from afar like a passing train.
It's time for the dancers to tell us what God is
It's time for the artists to tell us what God is
It's time for the lovers to tell us what god is
We are not here to watch God
We are here to live God."
