Footprints in the Wind^sm # 1646

Do not be frightened. Fear is the root of the power of the rising leaders: they control by keeping us in fear. Maybe not fear of them, for they want to be seen as saviors; fear of what they fear, for they fear mightily. Us, mainly: they fear us. We must love mightily.

Please pass it on.

Only meet.

The whole life cycle: animal—vegetable—mineral—airs—meeting.

Again: earth → microbes → food → plant → animal → human → meeting → breathing → moving → inert → decomposing → earth, where → is meeting.

God would not want all our attention to himself. So this raises a question about all the preaching to praise as the highest realm of religion. We are not bound to Jesus alone, nor to one another, but to all. Without limits, without distinctions.

It raises a question about preaching around “our way is the only way and all other ways are roads to perdition.” It raises questions about all separation thinking, all us against them ways. We are one, growing. Larger now than when I typed the last sentence.
