some thoughts and scraps about Johannite theology and practice.
God is most present to us as the naked perfection of this immediate moment. In order to meet God therefore requires only the simplest thing - total surrender of anything which impedes my engagement with that perfect immediacy.
This encounter with the Beloved is like a caught breath, an eternal moment, balanced like a feather on a pin. Endlessly momentary.
Lent invites us to a deeper surrender, a honing. What more can be given away? What over-complications hold me back from that most attentive watchfulness which is all I truly have to give?
Sing this moment with all that you are therefore. Take the invitation and abandon every impediment. Open yourself to the one who is opening to you so deeply.
Amen
