The twofold witness of

intimate spirituality is

the greatness of

faithfullness and forgiveness.

My word can create the most intimate dream,

or my word can destroy every relationship.

My genuine word only creates beauty, love and heavenly intimacy.

True and genuine spiritual intimacy is accepting people the way they are without trying to change them to fit your model.

Trying to change others demonstrates that you are not comfortable with who they are and their differences.

Acceptance of other people the way the are without remodelling them in your mould is being real.

Live from your most intimate being, your centre.

Here God is whispering "I am always with you; you are precious".

You can either

tell God about your storm

or

tell your storm about God!

Unconditional love is no more a force in space, time, history than it is in chess, or football or cricket.

Rules define the games people play and the scripts people live by. Though unconditional love doesn’t recognize rules or live by scripts.

Which formula works, which achieves results:

Intention x Intelligence

or Mechanism x Motion?

One can have the mechanism (resources and tools); one can create motion (like a dog chasing its tail). Is the difference though generated by Intention x Intelligence (common sense, not academic).

With intention and knowledge one can acquire the mechanism and generate motion. Though without either the resources or tools will lie idle, and motion may be in the wrong or not the most effective direction.

Is this also especially true with our most intimate relationship and our spirituality?

You, my beloved, are beautiful, truly lovely.  My desire is to comfort (left hand cradling your soul) and provide security (right hand embracing your body) nurturing our togetherness to a fruitful relationship.

As lovers we lay as one upon our couch of luxuriant, fresh, green pasture.  There we renew and sanctify the implicit holiness and purity of our belief in each other.

Intimate spirituality will nurture my beloved in freedom.

Liberty to accept pleasure of the body, soul and spirit,

and to gift pleasure as my beloved chooses.

I am aware of my intimate spiritual yearning and I  nurture it.

My boundless yearning enables me to cross from this finite universe and now dwell in the wonderful pluriverse that is my beloved’s love garden.

Your presence embodies all who I am

Your word awakens my soul

Your breath sustains my life

Your gentlest touch gives birth to our intimacy

Your passion provokes my desire

Your spirit enlivens my being

Your aroma buds fruitful longing

You invite me to dwell in your garden

Together we imbibe the pleasant wine that flows from your loving cup

Where you go, I shall go

Where you live, so shall I live

Your body I will pleasure

Your soul I will nurture

Your spirit I will free

Wherever you sleep, I will lie beside you

You and I will be one forever

Our love will be a gift of life

True intimacy is to  

 love without possessing;

     embrace without clutching;

     join without invading;

     invite without demanding;

     pleasure without expecting;

     appreciate without judging;

     free without denying;

     nurture without insulting;

     know without doubting;

     welcome without questioning.
