St. Francis taught us that the antidote to confusion and paralysis is always a return to simplicity, to what is right in front of us.

God planted a little bit of God inside of us—and all things.

What is happening is that we are withdrawing a human dependency, finding grace to forgive and let go, and relocating our little self in The Self (God), which never betrays us.

As always, love of Jesus and love of justice for the neighbor are just two different shapes to the One Love.

Humanity in Jesus is free to be human and soulful instead of any false climbing into “Spirit.” This was supposed to change everything, and it still will.

Most Christians would probably be slow to admit that by these criteria almost all of us would have opposed Jesus.

We have a Divine Medicine brought down to a small but potent dosage so we can handle it and it can handle us! That is what true spiritual symbols always do.
