Orientation-Where are you?

[SSL 276] Reflections on the "who moved" myth plus two Darkness and Light (Meister Eckhart) poems

Today, I wanted to bust up a (an ontological) theology myth error I’ve heard too much of. It’s a version of this phrase.
⬇️ (Have you heard it?)

"If God seems far away…who moved?”

This phrase pained me with much guilt back in the day. I did feel a loneliness and disconnection sometimes and what this adage told me was that I abandoned God.

Of course we all wander off the path sometimes and go our own way. We sin, make mistakes, and falter…but today the episode goes into the misperception I feel we should never get into that is bound up in this phrase that people pass along to us sometimes. BECAUSE— If it lodges in our mindset, it builds a false obstacle that leaves us feeling alone or abandoned.

I want better for all of us.

In the final part of the episode I read two poems (re-voicings) by Mark S. Burrows.

Thank you so much for supporting in ANY way you can.

Medical expenses (for pinch nerves in my neck), our daughter’s education, and other things are making it extra financially tight at this time.

If I didn’t already have the help of friends providing lodging and already bought my plane tickets back in April—at about half the normal cost—I don’t think volunteering in Puerto Rico during hurricane season would be at all possible. I get there soon, September 14.

And I will…
