Daydreaming While Walking On A Lake

Reading the gospels we see that Christ often found humanness inconvenient, He couldn’t keep from getting tired, hungry, or thirsty. Everything He wanted to do He had to make His body physically do.  At times however He seems to forget the trials of His humanness and just lived in His Deviness, like walking on water.  I wonder if He was even aware of it until He saw the disciples struggling in their boat. 


At times I awake from daydreaming and find myself back on planet earth.  These time often involve art making.  Time is momentarily suspended as I exist in a different dimension of just being.  The best way to understand this is to recall those times when you were riding in a car and all of a sudden you become conscious of time and realize you had traveled a long way.  I just read the story of Jesus walking on the water and wondered if He was just daydreaming and for a moment his human existence was suspended and He was just being.  Just being for Jesus would be being Devine.  Just being for an artist would be making art and art making is often a sincere way of seeking The Devine.  It truly is like walking on water, the physical dimension is suspended as we daydream of God.
