Could you embrace that?
After watching Avatar, I had a discussion on facebook about my disappointment with its solution to the problems of survival of this planet being again war, as it has been unsuccessfully practiced in history for eons now. Though I really liked the way they showed the connectedness of everything and wished they could have plugged everyone into that just for a change. It irked me about the movie being so futuristic but then there wasn’t going to be a new creative/spiritual answer to the world problems that seem to intensify lately, be they man made or created by nature, like global warming and starvation, especially in the wake of the latest one in Haiiti.
I said to God, “Let me love you.”
And He replied, “Which part?”
“All of you, all of you,” I said.
“Dear,” God spoke, “you are as a mouse wanting to impregnate a tiger who is not even in heat. It is a feat way beyond your courage and strength. You would run from me if I removed my mask.”
I said to God again, “Beloved I need to love you – every aspect, every pore.”
And this time God said, “There is a hideous blemish on my body, though it is such an infinitesimal part of my Being – could you kiss that if it were revealed?”
“I will try, Lord, I will try.”
And then God said, “That blemish is all the hatred and cruelty in this world.”
