Dark Shining

Sometimes shining seems dark.  Aurora Borealis is both.  The brightness refers to the darker setting.  I was given a pair of Aurora Borealis earrings.  They are multi-faceted brown, copper and bluish sides that reflect dark light.  
I am used to being off the beaten track, obscure and hidden.  This dark light has become my favorite.  The stars shine brightly but not in the daytime.

I also have a pair of clear, glass-like earrings.  They just showed up in the bottom of a bag of used stuff.  I like them, too.  Sometimes open, bright shining is best.  It is harder for me, but it is a calling.

I have to go with my callings.  I'm glad they vary a lot so it's never boring.  I love glimmers of moon on dark waters.  I love quiet, deep and profound.

Referencing Father takes various coloration.  We each have our favorites.  The initial Door in is the same but after that - AMAZING flashes of shifting beauty!

He hides Himself in clouds and thick darkness, says the Psalmist.  His brilliance is otherwise unapproachable by human beings.  There is no darkness IN Him.  But His creation like lightning reveals hidden, discreet wonders.

Highest Goal

If you can't seem to believe in something you CAN'T SEE, try this:  STOP BREATHING AIR because it's invisible.  I am sorry, BUT that's how crazy that is to me.  If we could see all of GOD with our human eyes we WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SEE ANYTHING ELSE!  He is LIKE AIR, which He created for US to breathe. We get to see evidences of His presence and it might hit us right.  Like trees moving in the wind, we experience all of a sudden, the reality of His very present BEING.  If you want to, that is; if you say, OK.

And while you're waiting for a meaningful response on that, Think about this: why does no one believe in BEARING UP under something any more?  It has a negative connotation - same as like, being HUMBLED. So - the negative STAYS negative.  Yet these turn to POSITIVES in the longer run.  Mostly - unless they're REALLY bad and abusive, that is.  Ideal or NOTHING?: Unpeaceful, as it turns out.  Or: spend yourself out to reach a not-so-worthy goal, focused only on the material?  Since it's MY BLOG I can say this:  The HIGHEST GOAL in my surmisal is:  GENUINE GRACE.  That would be both giving and receiving.  And you know where that can COME FROM?  FROM Bearing With and ALLOWING yourself to be humbled.

There was an Awesome Sunrise this morning - all pink/orange or orange/pink. That's like, Is it love/truth or truth/love?  Anyway as I stood gazing I suddenly noticed a rower out there - perfect time to be out, after 6 in the morning, right before dawn.  He/she was TOTALLY IMMERSED in that world, enveloped in tinted light infusion.  I was happy to see the person pause long enough to saturate, in spite of the work ethic of race-practice: it was a rowing shell; you almost don't see the boat; a person could practically be floating just at the water line.
Before that it was all my favorite stars and big puffs of cloud.  And the Big Mountain toward the S.E.  Wow - I am so grateful to be here.  I will include a photo soon...(still absorbing all this TECH STUFF) ~ Cheerio!

Feeling Submerged

What was from the beginning, we've seen, we've heard, we've handled, concerning the Word of Life.  I really like John and this is from 1 John 1:1.  After saying a little about POWER in Sound and Sight, Sense comes next: the POWER OF TOUCH.  If you were deaf and blind, chances are you could still FEEL.  An earthquake, the heat of a strong lamp or fire.  A good DOUSING in water!  And so forth.

I love water.  It feels really good - at the right temperature.  Going under completely is a pleasure.  This is about Living Water and His presence.  I am like a Loon in His presence, I love to go DEEP and for a long time.  (yes I know that crazy haunting call they make:).  Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls, says psalmist David.  All Your breakers and waves have ROLLED OVER me.  I sense His Powerful surrounding and am at peace.  Staying there is the challenge.  Hits happen.

A few verses down John says, If we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light...  so I take it that it is a constant walk and a continous submersion in His warm, comforting Being.  He is there, inside Himself and we are invited in.  The inner sense, again, can be far more delightful than any outer one.

Sight Fulfilled

Besides sound, most of us take sight for granted too. Yet it has the power to transform our very nature.  As for me...I will be satisfied with Your likeness when I awake:  When my eyes open, and I see You for Who and what You are.  I am with you on that, David the psalmist.  When we SEE Him, we will be made LIKE Him, because we will SEE HIM AS HE IS, John informs us.  In Revelation,

we see what HE LOOKS LIKE - hair white as wool or snow, eyes like fire, face like the sun shining in full strength... and by the way, HIS VOICE is like the SOUND OF MANY WATERS.  (See yesterday's post).  Awesome!!  Powerful!  And as with yesterday's, so much more could be said - an eternity's worth!  It's hard to imagine ourselves LOOKING LIKE THIS ALSO.  But we will, who are engaged in looking for Him!  This becomes the fulfillment of sight itself.  Spiritual, if not natural.

The spiritual is not just figurative but real.  And the longer we "LOOK" at something, the more we BECOME that, so no wonder we are told to LOOK at the UNSEEN more than the seen things.  The Glory of Father, Creator, begins to come through into THIS REALM from that realm, to our eyes. 

I know that is true of sound as well because in my "profession" it happens all the time.  Things shift often because of the frequencies coming through from Jah's presence-based percussion intercession.  The intention of the one playing comes through as well.  Fathers will be done in earth as in heaven.  Visually, a prophetic picture paints 100000 words.  It creates, in itself.  Time to go paint, see you!



  

Sounds Immersing

SOUND is POWERFUL. We forget. From loud wind and thunder to a tiny trickle of water to the BOOMS of a man-made DRUM; traffic cacaphony to soft singing. It seems obvious, but in looking deeper and realizing the origins in conjunction with human hearing and interpreting: WOH! Even a deaf person can FEEL SOUND as it shakes the earth in some cases; as some frequencies affect the sense perception. In the origins of Narnia, Aslan SANG the world into existance. Staccato to deep bass. I love it! Creative vibrations. In our world - seems a little more boring, but it's NOT REALLY, unless in the same way fiction may seem more versatile, Elohiym SPOKE. BUT WOH - WHAT A SOUND! I hold: The BIG BOOM THEORY! I can imagine quite a bit - of phenomena in that! Immersing in natural sound portrays the potency of both beauty and fear, our capacities and our helplessness...WHO ARE WE? Well, this has been my first little BLOG. Hello World, whoever you are. It's taken me this long just to get this far. But now I "hear" the call of those within who desire my lowly presence (maybe:). Sometimes my interior sound is LOUDEST!

Hello, world!
