life: acoustic & amplified

All find what they truly seek.              – C.S. Lewis

Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven,
and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
—Matthew 18.18

 

Maybe not:

“whatever you do, God will agree with.”

Maybe: “whatever” means whatever sins.
The hurts you hang onto you’re stuck with.
The hurts you forgive open you to divine healing.

Maybe: “whatever” means whatever relationship.
The relationship in which you stay connected,
despite conflict, is rooted in God.
The relationship you break loses its divine energy.

Maybe: “whatever” means whoever.
Whoever you oppress truly experiences oppression;
whoever you set free is truly free.

Maybe: “whatever” means yourself.
You can set yourself free, or bind yourself up.
God doesn’t do it; you do it to yourself.

Maybe: live in harmony with the divine energy of liberation
and the divine energy of faithful connection.

Maybe: let go of what God doesn’t care about
and hang onto what leads you to God.

will I ever find it?

 

this answer of living I seek?

 

or is the journey the important part?

 

keeping me on the path of learning, of searching,

 

of flowing, swelling, like a river

 

keeping my head on straight,

 

my hands open to receive the gifts freely given,

 

my feet pointed ever onward towards the western setting sun

 

will I ever settle in?

 

forget what I am longing for?

 

or is all this passionate, enthusiastic seeking the manna of my preservation?

 

keeping me connected to the earth,

 

to others,

 

to the greater cause of beauty

 

Could it be that keeping my eyes open to see with new vision

 

my heart grounded into the clay of my imperfect humanity

 

my never-ending curiosity about every little thing

 

about every single soul-in-a-body

 

which all seem to keep killing me softly over and over

 

the very key to my own unique, invaluable life?

 

will I ever stop questioning –

 

this questioning of the questioning?

 

or is that the answer to the very question of me?

I wander thro’ each charter’d street,
Near where the charter’d Thames does flow.
And mark in every face I meet
Marks of weakness, marks of woe.

In every cry of every Man,
In every Infants cry of fear,
In every voice: in every ban,
The mind-forg’d manacles I hear

How the Chimney-sweepers cry
Every blackning Church appalls,
And the hapless Soldiers sigh
Runs in blood down Palace walls

But most thro’ midnight streets I hear
How the youthful Harlots curse
Blasts the new-born Infants tear
And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse

London by William Blake

Ask and it will be given
Seek and you will find
Knock and it will open
Guaranteed
Motivations are key to this*
It’s not about surface talk,
sometimes, it’s not even
what you THINK your seeking
but under all
within all
is what you truly seek
and that is what you will find.
Really it is what will find you,
Be careful of your choices
You will always find this to be true…
what you seek
is seeking you

❤
