It is very difficult to live, by that I mean to live in co-existence with others, creatures, and the earth. Much of our lives are spent attempting to isolate ourselves from everyone and everything so that our physical self can know complete serenity. The greatest tragedy of this is that God is at the top of our bodies list of whom we need to be isolated. He might know us as we are and He has a list of rules we will find oppressive. However, one of the foundational truths of individual human existence is the reality that we are only truly alive as we walk in faith-filled relation with Him and in that relationship we are truly gifted with the grace of being our self, free from all fear of constraint and able to realize our being in living. The difficulty is not in living it is in our rebellion toward an illusion of who God is and what His purpose is for us. Oh, we can be such broken little children trapped in our tantrums brought on by our illusions—but the truth is, we can be free and free indeed—to be—me.
