Hi Alice!!

Thank you for sharing, Keith. 

When one is capable of such greatness (divine union), it is sometimes hard to find ourselves, after all that, in a body, holding a sheet of paper, having to communicate with other people with bodies and unique experiences... and each of us having good days and bad days (days of more light and days where we get in the way more).  It is hard to feel also the part of us that is mortal. 

Keith, I thank you for sharing this just as you did...divine but also mortal and concrete.  Your wonderful scrawl  and your own feelings about being online in community with others....these things help me to feel and see the spirit of your words applied to our lives.

You are doing the work of pointing to where and how the Light can be found. Those who lack the living faith think that the mundane day-to-day is life, but it is spiritual death. Our life is known, our self is sensed only in unity with God, where we are one - though we be 10,000. In meeting and online, people talk of ideas, and their experience in the world, but we need to hear the Voice that is not our human voice - the words that are Spirit and Life. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it (Jn. 1:5).

Blessings ... Alice, Olivia, and Patricia ... deepening down into the living Faith with spiritual ears bathed in the beauty of the divine Voice.
