finds you with yourself

finds you in the hands of God

finds you running towards

trying to find

all the things

you have

inner trails

of  truth,

beacons,

inklings,

reminders,

” Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is within you.” Luke 17:20-21

“Into His haven of Soul there enters no element of earth to cast out angels, to silence the right intuition which guides you safely home.” Mary Baker Eddy

“there is that is…”

“THERE IS THAT IS

And now, luv:

Be careless a little!

Dawdle somewhat.

Even drift.

There is something waiting

to announce itself.

But how can it appear?

How be heard–

when, without let-up,

stormed like this,

as if heaven’s got

by hammering at it?

None can besiege

what’s given.

Ah, come–

let wonderment in!

Allow for gifts.”

Doris Peel: Selected Poems 1955-1975

“Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” Luke 17:21

“‘The kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the
violent take it by force!’ said Jesus. Therefore are
its spiritual gates not captured, nor its golden streets
invaded.

We recognize this kingdom, the reign of harmony
within us, by an unselfish affection or love, for this is the
pledge of divine good and the insignia of heaven.” Mary Baker Eddy, Retrospection and Introspection
