We give to each other as we give to everyone

Day 226


In thinking and writing about the lives of my friends I can’t help but also think about my own what would my family and friends remember about me? Would they see my life as I have seen it? Would they see someone who preferred time alone, to be withdrawn, to seek quiet? Would they remember someone who wasn’t very social, yet when he did talk would prefer to speak about science, economic, and spiritual interests and less about the families of others? Would they know that my thoughts preferred to be elsewhere?

People are intuitive; they know. They know I like to move within the deeper things of science and spirit. And in You I have both, but in ways unexpected. There is the thinking that creates, the science of endless and impossible possibilities, a walk with God.

I think sometimes I miss the social interaction of having a large number of friends and events but always seem to gravitate to the place of inside, the place of quiet, the place with You. I assume everyone else sees this too, but I would not have it any other way.



To have a great many friends or to have a very few close ones is only a preference of the heart created, for the heart to be full, for the heart to be loved and held in esteem by another. My heart for you is that you would always be My friend, would want to be with Me, that we could always explore together what life can be for both of us. It is never a journey for one but always two. It is the melding of two hearts that the one might be greater than the sum of the two.

We give to each other as we give to everyone all that we are, whether or not they receive. It is the giving that matters most. How that is best to happen is the journey we take with each other. Will they see you in Me, and I in you? Will they be drawn to us as having something that brings a fuller heart, a grander life within, greater experiences without? It is our desire. And so day by day we watch, and listen, and give what can be taken in the hope that the promise of life might be fulfilled in all we meet.

That is a life fulfilled: that Goodness is always expressed under any circumstance that a legacy of encouragement in difficulty, joy in accomplishment, and a life of peace through sacrifice would be what is remembered.
