we who grieve now or overmuch in past times will if by choice grieve beyond our deaths and then meet there in a place for us of which I intuit but do not know for now

I know they nailed his feet I was there then when He passed beyond me I wept my cheek upon the nail in his feet cold the nail and his now bloody dead toes

Yet now even now forever He loves loved will love me as I love Him before then and then and now

There is no exclusion from the maelstrom of life That place in the placental tranquil sea from which we are exiled into if not chaos at the very least constant change transformation challenge & those who promise peace as jobs happiness security can never deliver anything but lies and sadly are by birth defective in that they may pretend but have no empathy for anyone other then themselves I have no right to judge them and no true ability to draw the measure of their souls only The Creator of Us can and will do that

But from measuring the height width breadth and God help me depth I see myself at times cold clinical cynical as Josef Rudolf Mengele to name but one form & choice of deadly indifference I am capable of but choose not to pursue

Obvious now to me is my choice to seek Love in all things hideous or glorious and will to forgive my mutilator by choice Such is the peace I now know my grief reconciled yet not forgotten It is a wealth true and worth more than being anyone else I know in The Universe since I know the boundaries of me explored and defined The what and why I write is merely to encourage you to find not That Place but the place within you that is such a Love as I know defined by you alone.

The Place for us is now and then when we meet Face-to-face Truth.

They who mislead us and destroy us making impossible life lived in liberty of Free Will must be held in our loving empathy—Do no harm.

This meditation is based upon two principal thoughts: Jesus indicating John said, He will remain if I say he will. (My sense and possible misunderstanding of the passage) And a traffic sign which to me indicates Zero the number of God and two eights the number of Jesus and the horizontal arrows lateral It could can and will always go both ways; to me the nature of Free Will and Karma's choice . . . the Zia symbol you'll have to look up it too is significant

I am neither religious nor political but unreasonably in love with the Power of Love maybe maybe not insanely so could be why not
