Eyes of Eternity

I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God!”

—John 20:17

Vision: to see from Heaven

God’s perspective

Truth’s view

Even yesterday is too recent a memory.

The only memory worth keeping is Heaven.

The only memory worth keeping is Goodness.

We don’t share memories, we share Wisdom

—Love

—Hope

—Fullness

Light, Firmness, Clarity, Understanding

Emmaus.

 “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?” (Luke 24:18)

As if Jesus is ignorant. No, He is alive, Living Hope, memories and circumstances are gone, left in the tomb with the burial cloth—they are the burial cloth. He has left the tomb—the tomb of circumstance, specific occurrence, facts—there is now only perfected fiction.

Cross the Jordan

Journey in Light

Firmness of Faith

Clear Contemplation

Plunge into Understanding

The Waters of Baptism
