God is everything— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
God is love.
Everything but man is content
to be just what it is.
Wheat to be reaped,
wood to be cut.
We should extinguish ourselves
and stop the difference between us
and the world
and we should love,
love everything,
like the water
that bubbles from a spring.
And, as we would fade,
our love would increase
until we became God,
loving everything.

Like a tear in the sky
that lets heaven come shining through
I opened up today
and nothing could hide the flame I felt.
Deep joy burning my heart down.
I went for a run, music in my ears,
God's creation in my eyes
and a deep feeling filling me
that I was tapped into something deeper
than the everyday shows.
Sometimes, like a lens, I just come focused.
Like a crystal, when the light comes on through,
I am for a moment showered with grace and clarity.
Full of the conjunction of my will
and my life and God's purpose.
As if all the warm hands of love and meaning
have come at once to press me
and I to feel through them
the fabric of life.

Friday, March 21st, 1986Chris’ birthday meditations— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
You have to give the things you want.
If you give dishonesty and deceit
then expect it.
Give what you want,
be what you want.
If you are tempted to transgress
your own spiritual convictions
and you think, ‘just this once’
then you risk much. And with each repetition
the danger grows more grave.
For, as your habit grows,
your belief in yourself
as a growing spiritual being
diminishes.
