"ONENESS"
As I sat on a wooden bench next to a small body of water today, my soul became detached from my surroundings. As if time was suspended, I became ONE with GOD.
I became engulfed by this huge presence; yet I was one with HIM. While I was in this state of -what I will call ONENESS- I felt so safe and so LOVED TIMES INFINITY!
Amazed at what I was experiencing - TEARS WELLED UP IN MY EYES. Unexpectedly, I began to hear every sound around me at the same time; yet I was able to distinctly understand each sound. Off in the distance I could hear the cheerful laughter of children at play. The precious, small voices screamed and challenged the other to master whatever play that they were involved in.
Though detached, I was ONE with this ALL KNOWING PRESENCE- suddenly the chirping of birds to the right of me; out of sight sounded as if they were inside of my ear canal. Vehicles sped by from the nearby highway and each one had a distinct sound from its motor.
My soul being detached I (Mary) was no longer the pen-(wo)-man of what you now read but HE who I was engulfed by became the penman. Instantly this encounter with ONENESS made REAL all that I AM , all that I ever was and all that I ever will be: is NOW! Time was suspended because it does not exist. It only exist from the perspective that man has assigned seconds, minutes, hours, days months, and years. What is- IS NOW!! Hebrews 11:1-NOW FAITH IS.... and if we live in the now, we become aware of the ONENESS!!
.............thence my desire is to be in ONENESS with NOW!
