We're Walking

I have looked back over my life and I have realized that all I was ever searching for, longing for, was never up ahead, but right with me, in me, expressing as me.

I take walks with God in my mind, usually when it is quiet and dark. I ponder at times whether or not I am mad, but if I am drawn into the scene, something good is happening.  If my mind wanders to the here-and-thereness of life as I have come to know it, I take it for what it is.
What you will read about on this blog, among other things, are walks we will take together in a process called a lot of things, but one which I call soul-writing. It’s a place God meets me and shares the great Love that Created me. Think of it as the Divine Whisper, only in ink.  I was riding along through the Rocky Mountains near my home in Colorado Springs, my dog Zeus along for the ride. I heard the words, “Walks with God”.  And, having done soul-writing for about a three years now, I knew immediately what the assignment was.  Walks with God, writing it down as I go, with you in mind, with you along for each step.

I don’t know who you are, silent witness, skeptic, accuser, friend, eager companion. It doesn’t matter to me. This found your hands and if it is for a reason, only you can say, and if so, only you get to decide what the reason is.  That’s the thing about walking with God, you’re in it step by step, fully participating, even when the view isn’t clear, mists form, or the climb feels steep. Thankfully, God never grows tired, and God sees not only the path upon which you walk, but the final destination.  I don’t know what that destination looks like, but I know what it feels like.  Love.  And that, most days, is all I know. But I’ll tell you this. It’s enough. Even when it doesn’t feel like it. I know this because I’m still waking up in the morning, still breathing, still wondering if there’s something in the refrigerator I feel like eating.
I’ve looked back over my life and I have realized that all I was ever searching for, longing for, was never up ahead, but right with me, in me, expressing as me. And around me, from where east and west become one and north and south is meaningless in comparison to an eternal God living in an eternal now and unlimited space. This is Who I walk with.
Friend. Creator. Trailblazer. And always, Companion.
Enjoy the journey. You might just as well, because we are all sojourners on, what Carl Sagan called, this pale blue dot, this little space orb purposefully barreling through the Milky Way.
Why are you here? That’s your question to answer.
Why am I here?  To become a unique expression of my Creator, crafted in the image of the Divine, a spark of love, filled with love, that came here to write things down. And so I shall.

This blog is dedicated to a lifetime of seeking God and finding a Friend.

Peace, Love, and Joy,
