butterfly God ..

I came across a butterfly today and I tried desperately to catch its beauty with my cell camera..
all I really succeeded in getting was flashes of movement, swirls of colour ..
there was something of the beautiful creature there, but nothing definite ..

perhaps, that's Godlike ..
we catch glimpses of Godbeauty as God flashes and swirls, but nothing definite ..
all we know for sure is love, and that defies form, colour, lines ..
it crosses lines of form and colour, blurring with flash and swirl
it persistently flees definition, analysis ..
it just is

God cannot be captured
like the wind, God moves where God will, coming and going, swirling and flashing between the lines

.... .. . ..

that unsettles us, discomforts us from our seat of repose, our throne, our settled 'knowing' God

good ! ..

thus the striving, the persistent seeking, the longing, the engagement, the reaching-out in our displacement, dislodging us from our security
creating the passion for knowing God

go for the passion
God is in the passion
