The latest posting
on the Praying Life "Exploring
Solitude: Leaving Solitude, Gone to Galilee" is a must read!
In it Loretta
reminds us that Jesus did not stay in the solitude nor did he stay in the tomb
He went forth in to the world and so must we.
Her statement
"Be a flame in the darkness, faith in the unfaith, hope in the despair,
love in the hate, laughter in the gloom." speaks to me the poet and the
artist in me so perfectly!
in the words of Jonathan
Livingston Seagull
"It's good to
be a seeker
But sooner or laterYou have to be a finder.
And then it is well
To give what you have found
A Gift into the world
For whoever will accept it."
In solitude we are
seekers but we when leave the solitude and go forth back into the world we
become finders who share what we have found. Solitude gave us a chance to
recharge. Spring has come and now God’s
tongue is speaking to us his whole creation is speaking to us in the brilliance
of colors and the greatest joy is that we get to participate by spreading the
news.
Jesus said,
"You are the light of the world–like a city on a mountain, glowing in the
night for all to see. Don't hide your light under a basket! Instead, put it on
a stand and let it shine for all. In the same way, let your good deeds shine
out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father."
(Matthew 5:14-16)
GOD is Love - So if
you believe man is created by GOD in his image then we are created out of the
Love and when we come into the Light we must give up going solo and Love Him
and others just as He Loves us. We must
share Love through our works with the special talents He has bestowed in each
one of us. We all cannot be famous
musicians or painters or scientists or leaders or athletes! The world needs the quiet ones those who can
just listen and understand and make another realize he does not have to go it
SOLO!
