The Crucifixion

Themes
  Bliss
  Lover and Beloved
  Pain and Wounding
  Smile
  Water

 

My ego is a dam trying to hold back a river of love
An ocean of eternal joy
The dam is failing
Love looking for cracks to seep through
Blessedly unstoppable

This is the Meaning of the Crucifixion:
The Holy Spirit spread Her arms across the world and embraced, encompassed ALL.
All forgiven
All accepted
Pains and Joys unspoken
I am Love, not the ego-I, not the memories and desires and thoughts of this small man
But the Eternal-I, that which Is
And that which Is, is Love
