Musings about godliness
There seems to be existential godliness in relationships. Relationship to self, to others, and to nature. Although the relationship to nature is an awe inspiring, humbling and all engaging affair, there is little power in the single human to alter his position in relation to it. You cannot make a mountain, you cannot stop a raging river, you cannot move the stars (yet). But it is in the relationship towards another human being where the magic happens. When you are present and connected creative energy flows. New attitudes are born, potential is revealed, limits are shifted. God is present. And this presence and connection is born out of a relationship with self. When choice in relation to the Wholly Other finds its meaning and place you know God is near. From this vantage point dependence seems godly and self-assuredness seems vain.
