HEY BEAUTIFUL FAMILY!!!
What's shakin besides the usual "stuff?" I noticed we have a "Cesspool" thread and I for one want to give thanks that we finally have an appropriate area of disposal for all of our "poo." It is a necessary part of life, don't you find? We ingest something, withdraw from it the nutrients, and the left-over is "waste," which of course must be dealt with. Most people prefer to flush the waste. Some people decide to fling it--kind of like a monkey in the zoo. Seems like it would be of little consequence to behave in such a manner when speaking of merely emotional or spiritual "waste." Like, we aren't "really" hitting anyone in the face with anything. Well, we are, but just in the spiritual/emotional face so it doesn't really count.
No, I think the Cesspool is a fine idea and I hope everyone feels encouraged and comfortable to dump whatever they need to in that area as you see fit.
This, however, is the River of Love... It's the same river where we always meet--{color:#cc99ff}full of beautiful lavender Soul Energy and Love/Light. Same river where Jesus brings the keg because the water into wine trick just became too cliche after a while... Same river where Satan runs the grill because, believe it or not, for some reason the guy never over-cooks anything! Isn't that a hoot? This is where God the Father acts as bouncer and in "admissions control" so that we don't have anyone trying to come in and rain on our parade. And you can always count on the Holy Spirit to bring the best brownies you'll ever eat for dessert (and it would be fine with me if she didn't bring anything but her beautiful, butch lesbian self.) And this is just the stuff that goes on that I can write about...
{color:#800080}The thing that fascinates me is that here, at the River, no one ever argues. I mean, Jesus and Satan are standing next to each other right now checking out some guys butts and they are laughing together. Laughing! You know why? Because they are OVER IT! They aren't stressing about whose soul they are going to take or what their next grand move is in the game plan of the Great Universe. They have done their jobs and they have moved on.
I wonder why it's so hard for us to do the same--as if we are so above anything that we have to see everything as beneath us--especially each other. Meanwhile, Satan is taking God the Father his plate of food so he doesn't have to leave the gate. And the Holy Spirit is about to jump off the dock into the {color:#cc99ff}lavender Love of the river--and she's lost her clothes--again... (Which is fine with me, by the way...)
{color:#800080}I hope all of you will stop by. Visit with someone you know. Hitler kind of keeps to himself but you could talk to Einstein, Gandhi, or even Michael Jackson. Grab a burger and a brownie. Just turn your head if someone runs past sans bathing suit. And don't forget to bathe for as long as you need to in the River. Pure. Healing. Peaceful. Beautiful. Merciful. Gracious. Perfect. Love...
...it does a body good...
Peace.
