I paint, and my art is about little home interiors, cute little vignettes of home and hearth and chairs and abundance, flowers, that sort of thing....and many people paint the same subject (flowers and chairs and tables et al) but each and everyone's painting of the exact same subject is vastly, slightly,or uniquely different from the other guys... I think that is so beautiful.

No matter how close they might come to being like the other guys, their own inner spirit, personality comes out and they do not duplicate the other's artwork (unless you are a crook trying to copy the artist)...

That is oneof delightful mysteries that make Life so amazing, so wonderful...Books, writing, speaking and sharing the Light we each have found, to some degree, here and there, little by little, our insights are each different from the other guys, we each say a little differently than someone else, though we are telling about the same Light, the same subject, the same Truth, the same Wisdom gleaned....If the subject is 'non-duality' or the Absolute or whatever else name the Truth might go by, each person tells about It in his own unique, personal to him, from out of his own soul, his own heart kinda way.

You know they say God does not make one snowflake alike or one grain of sand...and just think, when we say Infinite, it really is Infinite and unlimited....so a zillion personalities romp and stomp and play here in the world.... what a joy to be here experiencing Life Itself and to be more of who I am the longer I live....I have become 'real'er'....that is so Grace Divine being witnessed by My very Self...I love it....

I don't know what 'awakened' is and I don't use that word very often. I do know that time ---yes, time, the time that has no actual reality to it,but here nonetheless and teaches us much nonetheless--- Time has shown me that God is really is All there is....is there anything reasonable or logical about the statement that God Is ALL in All? and if I believe that, then does that make me God? No, it does not....Only God is God. Jesus said "I and my Father are one, but My Father is greater than I".

I know now that "God is All" is the Truth and this realization works in profound ways in my Life.

I could certainly not have imagined Joy and Peace and Light that arrives with tangible evidence that this Knowing has brought to me. Nor could I muster up the way to make any of This Wonder happen without God's Holy Grace that has arrived here at the helm of Life for me....Something Wonderful has come into my life, and It holds my hand and guides me now....that I know for sure....not much else do I know...but This I know and It is Real, I have everyday proof of Its Working in my life.

Ever read the story of the Velveteen Rabbit?....I love that story...You should read it...Its about how Love makes us Real.

With this "more Real Self" coming to Be, in time, slowly and imperceptably we find that this Divinely Wise and honest Light-Self is getting stronger and is very, more confident as I accept It on Faith---and this Wisdom is able to spot the liar, and crook, the darkness, and the con-man a lot easier too.....

Because God's Presence is Here Now and Always, Life is Truly Divine.

Love to all.... Sandy
