Finding magic within the bounds that life gives us finding magic in the right here, and the right now – in the sunlight and the rain, a walk around the ‘hood, in a baby’s smile and a bird’s song and how a butterfly flits towards the sun. Creating adventures in the backyard when life keeps us from the mountains, bushwhacking through the overgrown garden, imagining the birdbath is an Italian fountain. Playing like a child again – simple, organic, free – without a need to travel far, or for life to bigger be. -Karen Molenaar Terrell
What is this choice I’m making? Why this stubborn resistance when I know I can reach out to Love and find her right now, right here? What keeps me from doing that? What keeps me from drawing near to my Mother-Father – to what’s dear to me?
Nothing.
Nothing can separate me from Love – not stubborn resistance or mortal mind’s push and shove or incessant insistence of its own power and ego.
Love is here, I know – tenderly enfolding me in Her arms even as I type and no foe – neither a mortal life, nor death; nor what’s now, nor what’s ahead – not what’s past, nor what I dread – nor what’s high or in the deepest bed; neither the foot, nor the head; nor feeling a lack of food, or overfed; neither what follows, nor what led; neither what’s read, or said – alpha or zed – separates me from the All that is Good and mine to claim right now. -Karen Molenaar Terrell
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. -Romans 8:38-39
