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.
