Living in a world of duality there are certain contradictions to which we have become accustomed. Sometimes I think contradictions are not so much opposite ends but things that exist on a spectrum of understanding. Often behind seeming contradictory ideas lies a common intention. What looks like contradictory action is driven by a similar desire. When the idea of what creates and constitutes connection we can see over the span of time how much that has changed. Within the contradictions of connection are the nuances of circumstance, expectation, intention, and definition. What one person sees as a way to connect with another feels like a disconnect to the other person. Only when they are both willing to discuss the felt experience of a break in their connection do they see the effect of all these nuances. On my daily dates with God I am continually invited to learn new ways to create connection within myself and by consequence others. Being willing to breathe into my heart the possibility that the displeasing element of myself, one I was hoping to do away with becomes an invitation to find the face of love in an expected corner of my being. The recognition that God is present to the creative ways love calls upon us to connect to our inner and outer world specifically to expand the understanding of love is beyond me. It is why I return day after day, moment after moment to the connection that I have with a God of my understanding. Through the connection to God, felt or not at the moment, lies the promise of hope to connect with love in a way I never could have imagined was possible.
What creative connection to love is God inviting us to open our eyes to today?
