God have mercy

My drawing, 2-13-17

For despite all of the struggles in the world, 
this day will always be filled with goodness everywhere, 
in every moment, 

flowing into the root of creation, 
emerging here, 
an influence that flows upward 
from the magnetism and gravity of the planet 
into this being, 
and binds me to its purpose and its work. 

            Lee van Lear, Morning Five today

     Lord, I see and feel your grace in my life. I also am torn up by the rioting in this country. It’s hard to see Your goodness flowing or manifesting in that or any of the current wars throughout the world.

     As Gurdjieff says, 

“..:on that strange planet alone in the whole of the Universe does that horrible process occur among three-brained beings which is called the ‘process of the destruction of each other’s existence,’ or, as it is called on that ill-fated planet, ‘war.’ “ BT, chapter XIV.

     This is surely a bigger source of sorrow for You than I can possibly feel. Is your sorrow a source of goodness?  I can only hope so and pray for some good outcome to these conflicts, perhaps that we see You and move closer to You. 

     Forgive us our sins.  IJN
