after i beautiful afternoon at lakeside beach, i ran into jim on my walk up rosemont hill. i love talking with jim. though a firm believer in jesus christ, jim has an appreciation and understanding of different schools of thought. he's been a hippie, a goth, and a concious being that is devoid of classification. his awareness has been expanded thanks to the love of god. so has mine.


i remember jim sharing with me a passage from the fist john chapter 4:

4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

those verses changed me. it got me to rethink who god is. if god is love, then i guess my mom was right when she said all good things come from god...all good things come from love. if everyone that loveth is born of god and knoweth god, then god exists in all of us who love. so if two people love each other, they are born of god and know god, regardless of race, religion, or orientation. there are an infinite number of ways to love. god is infinite.


to me, god is the part of us that we believe is greater than us.

jim and i also share the same birthday. gemini season is almost upon us!

jim invited me over for dinner, and i accepted. feorinda came home from the hospital today, and i was so excited to see her and meet emily.

when we arrived at the house, emily was asleep. this gave jim and i time to work together on making dinner. feorinda was relaxing while her friend eli massaged her feet. if anyone deserved to be pampered right meow, its feorinda. this is her second child, and second c-section.

mmm...spaghetti with meat sauce for dinner. ice cream for dessert...even better!

i helped jim wash the dishes while eli woke emily up from her sleep and brought her out to her mommy to be fed. it was time for emily and i to meet.

being around a new born child is like a drug for me. its a high that direktly connekts me to the divine. emily is so precious, so beautiful, so little. seeing the effect that she has on her environment, on feorinada, on jim, on duncan (feorinda's 6yr old son) is incredible. its powerful to see how one life can change the world around her so radically.

my thoughts came back to the bible:

Matthew 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

the king doesn't see himself as any different from even the least of his bretheren. if he is no different, then perhaps i too am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the father but by me, by us, because we are no different from the king. the king lives in all of us. love resides in us. i am the gift to all mankind, and so are you. it takes one to know one.

if you don't believe that you are the most precious and beautiful gift to this world, hold a newborn child, or just ask your mom.

welcome to this world emily.
