Dear Jai Narayan -
This poetic verse is beautiful. I like how it describes God, as being infused in all of creation. God being transcendent through all that He's blessed us with here on earth.
I sense in you a deep hunger to know God intimately. I could be wrong, of course, but it's what I sense when I read what you shared with us.
I know the God who is infused in His creation, but my deepest longing is to know Him more intimately. It's my heart-cry.
You mentioned once that you once belonged to a church (Catholic?) & that you once believed in absolute truth.
I'm curious, how did you come to leave that faith, & to embrace what you believe in now?
I realize that you might not trust me, nor wish to share such personal information on this board. I'm not trying to set you up to get blocked, nor to try to find a way to witness to you. If you were once in a church, chances are that you already heard, or were exposed to what I believe. But maybe not. We all hear things through our own filters. Sometimes what we hear is not what was said...
I am truly curious. I want to understand your journey from where you were to where you are.
Care to share?
Shalom, Dena
