Fish on Friday.

Good day to you all my beloved brothers and sisters.  Here are some shots of my art with words from others that I am meditating on today, as you may also wish to do.

“The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love.” 
― Meister Eckhart, Sermons of Meister Eckhart

Using words from the Holy Bible I can say, `I no longer live, yet not I but Christ lives in me.`  Or as you can see under the photo of my painting below, I reveal in more detail which expands on this to those of us of a mystical nature.

Galatians 2:19-21 - Bible

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Galatians+2%3A19...

For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in. ... but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in ... ²¹ I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.

Time . . . can be used either destructively or constructively. More and more I feel that the people of ill will have used time much more effectively than have people of good will. we must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time always ripe to do right. . . . Now is the time to lift our national policy from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of human dignity.’
— Martin Luther King Jr.

Do you have a body? Don’t sit on the porch!
go walk in the rain!
— Kabir (6.32)

You cannot devalue the body and value the soul
or value anything else.
The isolation of the body sets it into direct conflict with everything else in Creation.
Nothing could be more absurd than to despise the body and yet yearn for its resurrection.
— Wendell Berry

The earth does not belong to the people; the people belong to the earth. . . this earth is precious to the Creator and to harm the earth is to heap contempt upon its Creator. . . .

A spirituality that preaches resignation under official brutalities . . . and total submission to organized injustice is one that has lost interest in holiness and remains concerned only with a spurious notion of ‘order.’
— Thomas Merton

Christology is creation underlined, concentrated and condensed.

Nothing in all creation is so like God as stillness.
— Meister Eckhart

To reach satisfaction in all
desire its possession in nothing.
To come to possess all
desire the possession of nothing.
to arrive at being all
desire to be nothing.
To come to the knowledge of all
desire the knowledge of nothing.
—- St. John of the Cross

Some of you may recall the famous saying, `I think therefor I am.` by   René Descartes  Yet I say to you, or write to be more exact; we are Human Beings. Not human thinkings or human doings. So when it says also in the Holy Bible, `Be still and know that I Am God` that is the answer to so much that is wrong in these present times.

Have a blessed weekend my beloved brothers and sisters. Know that you are loved and please pass this on.
Your brother in Christ, Peter G Kimble
