"Jesus did not fully entrust himself to any person, . . . for he knew what was in a person."
John 2:24
Again and again, life teaches us that people can never be our primary source of meaning in life. At their worst, they are fickle, narcissistic and mean. At their best, they serve as windows through to a much vaster Love - one that is indeed expressed in snippets through people, but that is designed to leave us hungering for union with our Ultimate Source. In silence and solitude, we realize that our lives are carried out in the relationship between Transcendent Father and Immanent Mother, and in the creative tension that occurs by dwelling in the middle between the Two. People are born, live and die, but our relationship with the Divine endures forever. And for me, the primary vehicle of revelation about the Ultimate Relationship occurs within the natural world.
