What if you had done something that changed your whole life, something that you could not take back, something that was irrevocable. unforgivable? What if something had been done to you, something that changed your entire life, something that was irreversible, something that you could not escape? What would you do? We have adjusted our reality to fit our circumstance, we have accepted life on the terms we have been given, we have a...

                                        A Message in a Bottle. A Letter to God….by Alan Delahay. Like grass………. I have wondered at the earth and all of creation, looking for beauty and finding salvation in solitude. I have marveled at the sight of mountains and oceans, wilderness and trees.

We’re all of us, always, in some state of being lost and needing to be found. We never really forget anything, they say, and all our pasts lie fathoms deep in us somewhere waiting for some stray sight or smell or scrap of sound to bring them to the surface again. Every man has forgotten who he iswe have forgotten our names and have forgotten that we have forgotten. Have we grown older that God?

                                        A Message in a Bottle. A Letter to God….by Alan Delahay. Excerpt from January 2003). We do not understand it is God speaking to us in our heartwe fail to recognize the voice and the One who is calling to us. I have asked God this question so many times God, where are you? And have wondered what the answer might be. Now I realize He has asked me and all of us Where are you? And we have not yet answered him. I hear the question rise from my heart is this what life was meant to be? The World has Changed.

If there is something better and we are meant to have it and we are unable to get it then we must need some help. Where does our help come from? I imagine that our help or the help we need most has to come from someone or something beyond ourselves. What if there is someone other than us who wants to help us find a better life? What if that someone is not like us but is better than we are and is willing to help? I imagine that ...

The word that God speaks to us is always an incarnate word a word spelled out to us not alphabetically, in syllables, but enigmatically, in event, even in the books we read and the movies we seehowever faintly we may hear him, he is indeed speaking to us, and that, however little we may understand of it, his word to each of us is both recoverable and precious beyond telling.

We are like dogs on a track running after a fake rabbit which is bolted to a mechanical rail racing just beyond the grasp of our reach. In circles we run and we run and we run. Happy we are to run. Can we escape the race, the proverbial rat race that we run each and every day of our lives? Can we escape the tyranny of the cruel master of life, the slavish system of our world? 5…...

Where is this voiceless romancer, who is he and why has he spoken so softly that even the hushed whirring of a computer fan drowns out his gentile words? Why is it so hard to hear what is so desperately needing to be heard? I can hear the words of life if I will listen. I spend most of my life not living because I spend most of my life notlistening. 365 – 20. By adelahay on April 25, 2012. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Join 4 other foll...
