LOTTA GREAT poems there, Peeps!
SEE A "HEART" IN THE COASTER DESIGN? LOVE IS EVERYWHERE, PEEPS!
The following written as
comment to blogger friend:
MY CLOUD OF UNKNOWING
I know, I know...you do not read these comments! OK.
That first line: "I know, I know" written of something
which I do not really "know".
I have become an "UnKnowing" Peep.
Started out knowing whatever you wanted me to know
(and some things, you didn't--smile!).
In fact, only ONE "knowing" remains:
I know God is LOVE--by deFinition.
That is all.
That's all I know.
Please do not argue that with me,
because at my age there is not much time to waSte(veroni. HA!)
God is love. This, revealed to me as,
through an erRor, I pulled up a post you wrote August 2, 2012.
Though a mistake (Sheeesh!) I read it anyway.
Turned out I had commented 3 times on that post--(
BTW, not a record for me (smile).
Knowing but one thing (which in effect is a lot)
I admit to BELIEVING anything and everything.
But, dammmit, I do not UNDERSTAND anything--
even that LOVE of which the UniVerse is created.
Cloud of UnKnowing rains
Chaos of ConFusion reigns
Finding the way out only took
38 years of following a
"simple-but-not-easy" program,
following a way of life
(for me, saved my life!)
Alcoholics Anonymous.
As a human bEing, I be.
Sometimes that's not easy,
to just "BE"!
Being part of God's love, as expressed
in the largely-unknown UniVerse,
I learn--express my soul in lovingness.
Loving is (again) simple, but not easy.
Accomplished by actions.
The Peeps I work with are constantly thinking of and helping others,
first, to stay sober, then to help them realize we do NOT have the answer--
we are under a Cloud of UnKnowing.
But we do have a solution.
A portion of that is dOing.
--smilingly, he says..."UNDERSTAND?"
LOVE and PEACE to all who may read this
and to all who may NOT.............
--steveroni
sometimes it is not easy to just BE, but that is a whole lot better than just DOing, we are so much a Do-Do culture...smiles.. and there is humility in knowing nothing but God, there is plenty i cant figure out as well or understand...but i do know love..and know i love you brother...always a pleasure to see you...smiles.
