Pearls Before Swine

…That God intervened in our humanity, that that exquisite Intelligence that created our world, stars, planets, galaxies, the intricate patterns we see in Nature, in our bodies, in all of creation, would not speak to us, would not give us any indication of how to manage this life with all its intricacies, ups and downs; that He would just create this amazing life and then throw us to the wolves… 

No, he spoke to us thru the prophets, he sent the Torah, the Evangil, the Qu’ran “as guidance for the people who believe” saying that there is a way, a path that if followed will help us find our way through and a merciful means for coming to know the Truth. 

Love them with a FIERCE LOVE!

I am finding out what is true for me.  It hides and I have to find it again and again!

If I don’t value myself, why would I expect to be valued by someone else?  And if I do value who I am, I wouldn’t consider throwing that away.  Pearls before swine is not an accurate description of the exchange. Yet in the past I have given away my greatest gift—the ability to love, to heal and to raise up—because I bought the idea that this gift is false/wanton. So I pumped it up, dressed it in tight pants, trying to prove that I am as sexy and sexual as the guys who want my gifts for the price of pork, rather than reserving that beauty that I am for someone willing to pay with his soul, the soul that I will love, heal and raise up.
