An invisable wake was created
When God said to His beautiful dead lover,
"Be"....
Everyday we wake up and effect the world. It is involuntary, this waking up, and it implies there is now something of consciousness business to get to. Ripples radiate out of every movement and every thought we employ. This is our "being" in the world and it is an invitation to choose. We bring our stirrings of illusion as the wake of them is formed in the waters of the placid lake, we abide. We make the world real with our living.
Thank you for listening.
