God in the stew...

                                                                                   Rumi, the Ecstatic


Listen to the silence in these words... "God In The Stew"

Is there a human mouth that does not give out soul sound?
Is there love, a drawing together of any kind,
that is not sacred?

Every natural dog sniffs God in the stew...

... Millions of love-tents bloom on the plain.
A star in your chest says, None of this is outside you.

Close your lips and let the maker of mouths talk,
​the one who says things.

--Rumi (tr. Coleman Barks)

​God in the stew is the secret sauce... the inescapable One Love Consciousness that is always breathing down our necks... if you haven't felt this already, wake up! It isn't at all that time is short. Rather, it's all about how sacred time is! I mean, you are breathing aren't you: if that isn't cause for radical amazement, what else is? Okay, a fine looking body is walking in front of you, then turning and glancing your way, is surely cause for some sort of dance, is it not?

​So, go ahead. Ask her if she would like a cup of tea in that passing shop... I mean, she just might say "yes"... surely, if this were your last breath, wouldn't you want it saying something quite extraordinary? Living like this, with subtle intention on the tip of your tongue, might soon have you spinning out poems like Rumi... or walking like the Christ, across the lake... there is no short-cut to where you really want to go...

The friend walks by, and bricks in the wall feel conscious.
Infertile women give birth. Beauty embodies itself.

Those who know the taste of a meal
are those who sit at the table and eat.

--Rumi (tr. Coleman Barks)

​Lex Hixon wrote: "This planet is at the very apex of spiritual possibility." It doesn't matter if you know of Lex Hixon or not: but what he wrote is true... He also wrote: "Look down at your body. It is composed of light. It is composed of love." The What If? Before the Big Bang followed that First Thought with a second, Why Not? So here we are, but not just here: we are alive at the nexus of the Third Person of the Holy Trinity: What Next?

​How you live is, perhaps, the answer the Holy One is seeking... so, you better damn well live like you know: God Is In The Stew!
