Taste Her

A dream hovers just shy of 4 a.m. as a reminder that we are the very ones we have been waiting for.

Take a closer look at the nature of desire. Who do you really long for – above salvation, above heaven and hell, above the ecstasy of skin and blood and the weight of you?

And yet, I have felt this Divine Longing mingle with humanity.

I have seen that God's own path is the very essence of us.

Wood ash in the garden and the whisper of leaves accepting death.

Love IS fire. I see now the gift of my attraction to it and embodiment of the flame.

Together we purify and up in smoke goes selfishness, greed, anger, and ego. It is the unleashing of God Herself and merging with Her in the cosmic current that we are Home.

I think the yearning and the desire is a gift from God.
I think Love yearns and desires US.
I think Love longs to be known intimately by US.

And being created in this image, we also long for this knowing.

She wants to be tasted in her softest place.

She wants to sheltered and harbored in the marrow of our bones.

She is immediate and primal; why do we deny this?

Radical Love will not be contained, not in discussion or marriage or even in the sweetest, most fervent prayer.

No Law or cross can hold this Fire.

Of course we are the metaphor, beloved; how else could we possibly begin to fathom the way in which God burns for us?

Ultimately there is One Love and if it is radical you want, I say, let's rise and look Love in the eyes, face to face.
