Curtains

It's only by forgetting yourself that you draw near to God. - Thoreau

All my life.

I lived with the curtains drawn.

It keeps the drafts out.

But leaves the house ...

... awfully dark ...

Author's Note

"It is not when I am going to meet him, but when I am just turning away and leaving him alone, that I discover what God is. I say, God. I am not sure that that is the name. You will know what I mean." - Thoreau

There's somewhat a sense of safety behind curtains. What can't be seen, can't be bothered. But living in the dark isn't living. God put his light in every heart. It's up to us to decide if it shines or gets snuffed out.

That's what I heard in my mind as I read this and I want to thank you for writing and posting it. It helped with a situation I've been dealing with for some time now. Brings back the old adage, 'God works in mysterious ways'. I love reading your stuff. It's like you're talking to me.

thanks for bravely lifting the shade to look inside this two-sided reality rhayne. he sure does work mysteriously - a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma ... :)
