Today I left a comment on a favorite blog of mine.
I was surprised when the comment I left resonated with several individuals and rankled several others.
One individual even went on to quote me and to blog about my comment.
Now that's never happened to me before.
I don't feel self-important, or validated in anyway and I don't place any special importance on the fact that several someones replied to my blog comment. I'm just surprised. Surprised that my comment amounted to diddly squat in the first place.
I sometimes forget that I am not alone in the world. I sometimes forget that there are others who thirst for justice and long for God's Kingdom to be made manifest in today's world. I sometimes forget that whenever the truth is either spoken or written, it is imbued with the power of God.
I forget a lot of things I suppose.....but at least I have not lost my capacity for surprise.
..and I am thankful for that because I needed to be surprised today. I needed to be reminded that I am more than nothing.
If God had a blog and you could leave him a comment, what would you write? What precious part of yourself have you forgotten? Do you need to remember your own belovedness? Do you need healing in some inner recess of your being? Do you thirst for justice and long to see God's Kingdom come?
I know I do.
What about you?

Would i leave God a comment...you bet. Infact prayer is kind of a blog and God sure gets and earful from me. I like those moments when i think i get an earful from him. one thing i am sure of is that God has spared me the earful i most deserve sometimes in my insolent ways of communicating with him/it/her/them...instead my heart is quieted, my soul steadied, my existential feet are supported by the firm UNKNOWN and I relax and sleep. Sleep...that sounds good right now. Good night friend.
