You Are There

"We live in a continuum of identities in relation to God, ranging from the most separated to the most united. The lifetime process of spiritual conversion involves God's slow purging of our sense of separatedness and illumining of our true nature on the way to union with God and with God's loving will in the world." - Tilden Edwards in Living in the Presence

"Where can I go from your
Spirit?
Where can I flee from your
presence?
If I go into the kitchen, you
are there;
if I make my bed in the
afternoon, you are there.
If I'm working on the computer, you
are there;
if I make time for a random
conversation, you are there.
If I go to cut the grass, you
are there;
if I shovel mountains of snow in the
winter, you are there.
If I brush & floss my teeth, you
are there;
if I make myself a microwave
dinner, you are there.
If I double over with laughter, you
are there;
if I cry bitterly in the darkness,
you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the
dawn,
if I settle on the far side of
the sea,
even there your hand will guide
me,
your right hand will hold me fast."
Psalm 139:7-10 with a twist
