Turtle Doves.

In my garden

each morning

the coo-ing of turtle doves.

Up.

Have you ever noticed that church steeples, temples, and pagodas all point up?

I suppose this has something to do with heaven being the sky.

This tiered worldview is now obsolete.
But we still have the structures pointing up.

Eastern pagodas have successive roofs representing higher and higher states of consciousness.

Western churches have towering steeples reaching for the heavens.

But to go up is to miss the point.

God dwells in the heart.

So to reach the divine we must go deeper within.

In the end life is not so much about the state of our minds as the condition of our hearts.

God's Temple.

The silence of the towering trees,

God's spirit exhales stillness.

The arching green high above,

the canopy of God's temple.

The pure air,

God's breath.

Sinners.

Contrary to popular opinion God's attitude towards sinners is not one of condemnation.

God wishes to redeem us, even to the very last one.

For God knows the reasons for our sins, even of those who have turned against Him.

We may be forgiven little, but those who are forgiven much will love much.

As for those who have turned against God the reasons are to do with a false image of God which has been given to them by blind guides.

This is a misunderstanding of God's nature.

They turn against an angry, vengeful God who does not exist.

So they can be reconciled to the God of Love.

Who is the only God in reality.

Wisteria.

From

wintry branches

sprout

clusters of

weeping wisteria.

Cover Up.

If Satanism is so rife in the music industry how come nobody knows about it?

The answer is quite simple.

They cover it up.

When suspicion grows the suspected artist brings out an album (usually with a white cover) which paints them as good, even saintly.

They bring out material which is forwards.

But don't be deceived.
They will revert to their black, backwards songs as soon as the coast is clear.

And as everybody takes things at face value, everyone is fooled.

So be warned.

Rock musicians practice black magic and Satanism.

God of Love.

A loving God

through love unveiled

opens our hearts

to love the world.
