This is the feeling of infinite serenity.
Tell me what you see...
Truth and beauty. Purity and intensity. How do you define them?
Truth is that which is not hidden but invisible to those not searching for it.
It belongs to those who know their Maker, who talk to the One seeing all.
Beauty is not just the flowers or the well-bred woman or the sumptuous banquet.
Beauty is seeing the light of truth shine through when humbly seeking it.
Purity does not mean isolation, or prejudice, or solidarity.
It is the fire that consumes, the embrace that washes away the past, the core of the Universe.
Intensity is not an abundance, nor does it force out equals or the frail.
It is that which has always existed, and will last infinitely beyond the insurrection of the impure.
Truth, beauty, purity, intensity.
They are gems in the Universe. The smallest particle, the tamest animal,
the hugest galactic supercluster -- all contain these. The secrets of Creation mystify
our minds and make misty our eyes when they peek out at us through our telescopes and microscopes
and calculations.
They shine brightest in words unspoken, in nuances of human behavior,
in the motionless gaze of an animal who is your friend, in the snowflake
dying on your nose in the winter storm, in the juiciest cactus in the Mojave
desert, in the spot on Jupiter.... do I need to go on???
Does someone see these? Does someone create such solid images besides me?
I have found three.
There are more. I know you are there, reading this. I know you share the Creator with me.
But you hide. But you don't answer. Do you hide it from yourself?
Embrace it in all humility and joy. Do you despise it? You despise me as well...
A Universe of unending freedom is waiting for us to fly. A God of unbounded love, wisdom,
justice and power is leading us there. Eternity with Him -- that is the end which all men must seek.
To tear away from Him is to tear away from eternity...
Torn away from Love, Wisdom, Justice and Power.
Torn away from Truth, Beauty, Purity, and Intensity.Its time....
...would someone please surprise me???
