You expressed that insight so well, Suzy. It’s very much in harmony with my own perspective. “My face is everyone’s face… all that exists is my face.” Everything has a hidden… fulness. When we look at the world with simple, honest eyes, we glimpse that fulness. Finally, we see that only that fulness exists, and the seemingly fixed reality of the material world loses its tangibility and fades into the background. That fulness shines through everything. And it smiles at us… and through us.

Ivan

(And thank you for your prayers.)

Hi Ivan, I read the poem several times…so beautiful…I thought about what it means to be his hands, his feet, his eyes…and then I remembered praying or actually listening to God…and heard the words..”Seek My Face”…That was a number of years ago. I then asked God..’but what does your face look like?’..Somehow what came to me was…’my face is everyone’s face…all that exists is my face’…so somehow it seems to help me understand how our hands etc…are the hands of Christ…There are no boundaries between us and our brothers and sisters…our earth…except when we feel we are seperate.
You will be in my prayers.
Suzy
