Communion

Tonight I am overflowing with richness. Thick, full bodied wholeness. Every breath slides down my throat like ambrosia from some cup held by a god.

My heart beats with a wildness matched only by the wind and the thunder that tears the air over the lake. Lightning sends rivers of joy deep into the water, illuminating the depths with such deep resonating tones that the water rises to meet the heavens.

Sight and Sound and Feeling are all one, there is no separation of anything tonight. It is a holy night, a night of love, love so great it has no boundaries, no barriers, no beginning, no end.

All creatures must open their hearts wide, bare their souls, leave themselves totally exposed, be completely vulnerable that they might feel this love. No minds can expand far enough to embrace it for it is the love of the old gods, the powerful gods, the earth and sea and sky gods, the one true god in all the glory of creation, in all his spirit and all her body. The complete God manifested in perfect love over and over again since time began.

It was on such a night as this that God gave birth to the earth and all of life. And it is on such nights that we humans know why we are forced to try over and over to replicate this love - for it is the only truth, the only true reason for us to be. All other reasons pale before it.

Total communion. Communion so powerful, so complete, that neither miles, nor space, nor time, nor anything else can stand between it.

The breath of God blows on the earth, warming her, bringing forth the life that feeds Life.

If all would partake of this night, peace would reign eternal, for who would divide his own soul?
