what time?

I was thinking about when was the last time someone you didn't know realized that you were a creature who was in eternal being, put here for jsuta short while. I wonder if we show this to the ones we encounter much. Does the supermarket clerk get even 15 extra seconds of our time? Do we know how many grandkids the mailman has? Are we mostly just concerned with those in our bubble, moving from one urgency to the next?

outside in

Today I've been thinking about all the times we let the outside determine the inside, instead of the reverse.. when Jesus said "the Kingdom of God is within you." what did he mean. It sounds kind of new-agey . . . . or does it? What is our source of Truth? God. Once reconciled to God, where does he reside? Within us, our spirit with His.

So why do we seek so many external validations?

Are not many largely unnecessary, when Truth is within us?

Have we grown to, or been taught to distrust this truth, to second guess it?

Probably.

What would happen if we opened the door to trust again? If we said, “Speak to me Lord, from within me”?
