God is often described as something beyond our understanding.  I certainly see God as a power greater than me.  I simply cannot be aware of all things at all times.  I am not able to perceive the multiple possibilities present at any moment.  Often when we make a spiritual connection there is a sense that we have gone beyond ourselves.  In connecting with a greater power we are gifted with an awareness we did not have before. At times it can be exhilarating.  I have certainly had meditation experiences or times when I was dancing and I felt lifted beyond my current reality and in the flow of something greater.  It is such a profound experience that we can get caught up in thinking that all now moments are supposed to be enlightening.  One thing that my daily dates with God has taught me is the simplicity of presence in the now.  It is not about reaching some place beyond my current state, it is about genuinely connecting to the space within me that has an awareness of the beyond.  This awareness feeds my perception of the beauty and mystery of life and love even in the midst of the day-to-day human experience.  I don’t know about you, but I am always appreciative of a knowing that there is value in the moment I am in.  God does not know the word waste.  Love is always beyond our understanding but not beyond our being.  Anything over there, going on afterward, or over yonder as is said in the Old English language, is a place in which our being exists as well.  It is how we can experience being yond (beyond)  right now.  God invites us to not spend so much time searching for what is over there, going to happen, or not in this moment so we can open the eyes of our heart to experience the magnificence of being now.
