As human beings, we are living life to learn to be divinely confident, just like cummings' flowers in "who knows if the moon's a balloon." We achieve godliness, Eternal Life, Nirvana or whatever name you choose to call the perfection of the Best Self when we can confidently and honestly say, "I belong here, in this beautiful, creative, eternal place, because I am beautiful, creative and eternal." We can pick ourselves, too.
in response to your comment on my blog: if I was chasing the rainbows you could say that I was chasing the "promises of God." But the problem with both scenarios is that rainbows are more like visions that we cannot reach and cannot reach us if only with the heart and the eyes, and God's promises are not. I think they are attainable. We don't have to watch from afar off as they fade, but they remain and we keep working. Maybe they are more like the moon. It is touchable and it follows and I can follow, but eventually I have to get to a higher plane to reach it. Now I'm just philosophizing. What do you think? Random thoughts for the morning. Thanks for your thoughts always by the way. They always get me thinking like this, and feeling. I like conversations like this and I don't get them enough. If you ever want to philosophize with me, let me know.
