Sun and Moon and the Ocean

God said:

I sit in a rocking chair, and the whole world spins out from Me. I rock, and the world issues forth its plaudits, and all the beautiful rising and dawning of the Sun occurs. Stars pop out. They wink and say: "Look at me. I'm here." The moon yawns and turns itself in many ways, covering itself in a white blanket or peeking from under it. The moon is a clock that makes time in the moonlight.

The Sun says that the Moon is really a reflection of the Sun. What does it matter? The Sun and the Moon are both beautiful. It is not a contest. Neither looks in the mirror. Both enjoy their silent-seeming movement, and you enjoy the Sun and the Moon, even as you take them for granted.

Their light dances upon the seas. The seas make waves in order to catch the light. The waves and the light splash and make happy their days and nights. There is great accord, how waves and light go in and out and up and down in varying tempos, varying their displays. The seas do not do their dance of light for show, yet they are pure entertainment. They store the Sun and the Moon and take them out one after the other.

There is light in your eyes, and your teeth sparkle like the Moon. You wear a yellow medallion unaware that it is emblematic of the Sun. The Earth is round, and your cheeks are round, and your knees are knobby or round. There are shapes.

Sounds created themselves so they could be heard. They knock themselves out and take different sizes and forms, some louder, some softer, some high, some low, sweet chariots of music. The wind and trees compose, and all listen.

At the right angle, even the sounds of cars on the road make a kind of music, and it too is beautiful. Music surrounds.

As I rock in my chair and treadle the world, what shall I say about My children. Like music, like colors, they shape themselves and have their own tone. Amazingly, there are no two alike. Never was. Never will be. There are so many variations of the One. How is it that not every branch of My tree is adored? Even in the mix, how can one particle of My Oneness not be adored?

You create yourself with every ring of the bell, and you come out fighting. Who or what do you fight but yourself? You are the whole gamut. You tell yourself stories while I rock you in My arms. What an imagination you have!

Your tales are like string unwinding and going around corners. You decorate a Christmas tree. You are adding beauty to the world. I rock in a rhythm you may not quite catch. You hold Me responsible for your not hearing. I gave you ears. I gave you everything. Hear Me now.

You are the love of My life. You exist for Me, and I for you, this imagined you who swims with the whales and the dolphins. You put on a swimming cap and goggles and move the ocean. It gets out of the way for you. You make your way through it, and you kick it with your feet.

The ocean doesn't mind. It likes you to swim in it. The ocean is like the whales and the dolphins it makes a home for, for the Ocean too likes to play and amuse all.

I rock in a rocking chair, and I treadle with My feet, and you are fast catching up to Me. You are fast catching on to Me. You are fast suspecting what you and I are doing together as We make this world what it has always wanted to be.

your teeth sparkle like the Moon

Next to what I might call "uproarious" Heavenletters (e.g. #1457, for Pitta: http://www.heavenletters.org/god-asks-a-few-questions.html ), it's this "recreational" type I love the most. This one is like days of vacation in a beautiful unknown place – you only want to take in everything, it does not occur to you to think about anything, there is nothing you want to know, nothing you need to figure out. There is the rhythm of God rocking in His rocking chair, and you do not even ask yourself whether you are catching it or not. It's not important. There is Being, and that is all.

And then it's words and pages again, leafing through books on shelves and many more books in my mind, trying to find out, trying to make sense, trying to simulate God's rocking in the lab of my brain in order to study and understand and from there, hopefully, to manufacture it. I have come to see it does not work that way. Getting into the swing of God's rocking is what "works", and there is no instrument, no tool, no insight, no practice and certainly no trick I can apply to get there. Unless you want to call following your heart a trick or practice.

But it seems we can't get it wrong anyway. You are fast catching on to Me. You are fast suspecting what you and I are doing together as We make this world what it has always wanted to be.
 
 
[Gloria, in the 5th paragraph from below, is it "but yourself" instead of "by yourself"?]

SUN, MOON AND OCEAN

DEAREST MAESTRO, GOD-CREATOR, ONE WHO SITS ON A GOLDEN ROCKING

CHAIR AND WATCHES THE CHILDREN OF HIS OWN LIGHT,

My! WHAT A POETIC LETTER YOU WRITE TO US TODAY! BUT YOU COULD ONLY

WRITE POETRY BECAUSE YOU ARE THE MOST SUBLIME POET THAT EVER COULD BE

I DO LOVE TO THINK THAT WE, - YOU AND WE, ARE MAKING THIS WORLD WHAT IT

HAS ALWAYS WANTED TO BE! WHAT A JOYOUS, -SUBLIMELY JOYOUS THOUGHT!!

YOU SAY THAT, TO YOU, EVEN THE SOUNDS OUR MOTOR CARS MAKE ON THE ROAD

MAKE MUSIC! TO HEAR AS YOU DO, WE MUST BEGIN THINKING MORE LIKE POETS,

OF COURSE. IF EACH ONE OF US IS A VARIATION OF YOU, WHAT A HEAVENLY

WORLD IT OUGHT TO BE. I AM THINKING JUST NOW OF HOW THE OCEAN STORES

THE LIGHTS OF THE SUN AND THE MOON AND TAKES THEM OUT FOR SHOW, FOR

ENTERTAINMENT, FOR FUN, FOR JOY! WHAT A DELIGHTFUL WORLD IS IS FOR

YOU, DEAREST MAESTRO! THANK YOU, WE LOVE YOU!

Gloria tells us that God Rocks

How about that; God rocks and treadles while we peddle and peddle. God doesn't even snicker at our training wheels either. He just runs along inside us and gives us a push to keep us steady, or keep us from falling too hard.

"For Whom the Bell Tolls" is part of our tale, she reminds us. Actually it's God reminding us but I really have a hard time keeping them Two straight. But I laugh at God, as Ocean, waving at her and enjoying me playing in Him.

What Light this Heavenletter sheds!
