BEING and being absurd


A way to be.  I am often overwhelmed with being as if “me” was a state of celestial being that enlarged “me” into a supernatural conduit for God’s presence.  I cannot explain this but it is a “being reality” that is overwhelming grateful.  It is almost always tied to a quiet time of reading scripture and other ancient works, currently the Puritan Prayer Book, The Valley of Vision and is so unlike me, the me I know me to be, that thankfulness, even though wholly inadequate in kind to what I am experiencing, does non the less seem to be my initial, logical and spiritual gift back.  This sense of gratitude is almost immediately followed by the ideas for art making and an overwhelming desire to create however it is so less than the original experience that placing it in this context seems almost absurd.
