As a child I thought life was meant for living. I looked around and tried to copy others who seemed more knowledgeable than me. It was fun for a while. Then it wasn’t.
But by then I couldn’t stop the music. There was nowhere to press STOP, no pause button anywhere. So it went on and on and on. I played along. Tried to follow the printed dance steps. Didn’t work so well.
I knew of God, my thoughts had entered that vicinity. Of course I didn’t know God! There is nothing for us to know, not in the way we’re used to. I thought I had to make the puzzle, find my place. Didn’t know that I fell outside every categorization.
The joy that’s in my heart today isn’t knowable the same way any scripture is. It’s livable, experiential, unavoidable and most essential to my timeless core. I know we are the same. My joy is also your joy. Once you’re still, you’ll know.
