The Reflection Of The Christ
When you are capable of looking at something with real interest and you give it your full attention, it looks back at you. What looks back at you is you. There has never been a god outside of you. Always he has been in you, from the first to your last breath. You have been shaped after him.
In the middle ages, hundreds of thousands of people have died for recognizing this simple thruth and saying it aloud. Witches have been burned.
It is always you. It is always you in disguise, that reflects back at you. The pain, love, hurt and joy, the shining light in the eyes of someone, the disgust you feel for a thing or person, it is all your own. All you see is your own. What you perceive you receive. Step by step you are guided towards enlightenment and understanding through a reflection of you. A sincere reflection that you will see one day.
Let me say this, nothing I write on these pages is advice, or judgement or meant to be a truth for you. It is always me talking to myself.
This cross is 180 years old. When I did " The Reflection of the Christ " and saw it sinking in the green, blue waters, these were the words I heard it saying to me.
" Always it is you ."
" Always it is you ."

CONTEMPLATION
An old peasant was seated alone in the last pew of the church.
"What are you waiting for ? I asked
" I am looking at Him, and he is looking at me" he said softly
Meditate. Meditate properly about you and your life.
I was told this:
Aloneness is often very difficult to achieve, and many would feel unhappy if they had it. Yet you must above all things cultivate silence and meditation.
I found it true.

A Man's Life
If somebody says to you: It's your destiny I'd say think twice. There is no blueprint in the universe on which god has written your life, your destiny or your purpose.
Sometimes you think you have to find that blueprint, that it must be there and that you have to find out what god had really in mind for you. But since that blueprint does not exist that quest is utopia itself.
God wants you to choose your own blueprint. Your mission in life is the mission you give yourself.
And a man's life and freedom is where he can find it. His purpose is where he says it is.
And God is happy to see you choose.
You can design the blueprint of your life yourself. And if it is a bad design it can be changed.
If this is difficult the question that should be asked is: " What brings my joy? The answer to this question will help to create a new life design.

Every Child's Good Things
The words that I am going to write are not mine. They are not " my own right words " but they are so beautiful that I want to rewrite them humbly.
And when you read them you will understand my obsession with words.
And when you read them you will understand my obsession with words.
I, NATURE, give to you, to be yours for ever and ever, the right to the free enjoyment of this world.
I give to you the years that are before you, and the world that is about you.
I give to you the Sun by day and the Moon by night, with the power to wake as the Earth rolls into the light of the Sun....
and the power to sleep when the night comes.

Will I THINK OF YOU?
Only when it's cold
Am I am shivering
Against the wind
And suddenly from the inside
The core of me
From my deepest depths
Comes
A small warming flame
Which wants to grow
And I fight it
Until I realize I need it
Want it
To flow through me
To fill me
Because
It is you
And then I will think of you
