Meditations: Could It Be
Could it be… that a hug is as close as two hearts can be — as near as two souls can come in the expression of love that an embrace realizes.
Could it be… that when we embrace, we turn from the judgements that our eyes and ears create — and so our hearts can sense the truth of our vulnerability if even for a moment?
Could it… be that the unspoken and unseen has far more to say of what is important — and of what we are created to share?
Could it be… that our ultimate quest in this life is the endless longing for God’s embrace as had surrounded us before were born into this world — and to hear the breathtaking comfort of our name spoken by the Divine?
Could it be… that the God whom the whole universe cannot contain, is inside of us — and so if heaven is where God is, our soul is God’s heaven?
Could it be… that our humanity, weary of our separation from the Source of love, finally agrees with our soul that it is time to return?
Could it be… that in our soul’s unquenchable desire for love we finally accept this life’s necessary limitations — and in that acceptance, we are able to receive the gift of perfect love at the feet of Perfect Love?
Could it be… that at our final breath when God fully reveals Godself to us, we are overwhelmed by the breadth and intensity of that much love, and it becomes too much for our body to bear?
Could it be… that drawn by the irresistible force of God’s love we are released from our mortal limitations, and we fly returning to the One we came from… forever at peace… perpetually in wonder… eternally at rest… in the Source and Creator that is Love Itself?
