The Divine Pool

I am ready to swim in the divine pool. We are made in the image of our Creator, and that image is a bountiful lake of love.

Sometimes we stand on the earth too long looking at the waves as detterents to our destiny. The sand warms our feet to watch to swim!

Cultures place rules upon our lakes: no fishing. Or, the oil companies and other corporations poison our rivers and oceans and once clear springs. Our vision is murky, and we no longer stare at the lake's endless beauty. Nor can we feel the intensity of light and rain above us expressing themselves as rainbows across the polluted horizon.

But, a rainbow will spread on a clear-coming day!

"Come," they say, "the water is fine!"

Upon death, I will swim like a fish. Become the diving dolphin. Shift into the golden eagle and fly beyond earth's hemisphere. There, I will surpass the rain and lightning to cross over a waterfall of the sky's boundless falling away.

There, I meet my image--the Creator and the water--and God, with no figure, urges me to join his rainbow trout without scuba gear. I, then, am breathing the water's oxygen through the gill's of my formless energy.

I am swimming in God's pool of divine love. Naked and unafraid!
