TOMORROW, I'M TALKING TO THE SKY!

I've an idea! Tomorrow morning....





INSTEAD of taking a quiet walk in the forest-- listening to the animals and insects-- examining the wonders of the flora--- deeply breathing the mystery of nature...

INSTEAD of quietly looking inward, at who and what we might be, in the scheme of things that are unknowable, and accept the mystery....

INSTEAD of creating art, planning a  project, reading a couple deep essays in the Atlantic, 

INSTEAD of meditating quietly or stretching with some yoga-- tomorrow morning, 

INSTEAD - let's all get dressed up and drive several miles to church! Yes! What fun! 

We can moan and wave our hands at the sky! God is in the sky! HE is in the sky! HE must be! Unless HE is blessing Houston, or America. 

We can 'transmit' prayers! To the sky! We can quote ancient wisdom stuff to each other from a book, written by people who didn't know where the Sun went at night!  We can pretend to get messages, personally, from "above". [We sniggle when our little kids, at age 4, get messages from their teddy bear....or their imaginary friends...but we get messages from Jesus, in the sky!]

We can confess and be made to feel bad by others, who then offer to make us feel good, when we confess to being bad! 


And we can hold, in our minds, a picture of what this really means.
