love without ceasing

.

All that is happening is God. 

We need to be a witness and not a false witness, a true witness who is not swayed by appearance, one who stands in the reality behind the appearance materializing as the illusion.

—Herb Fitch

 

.

Every tree, every plant, has a spirit. People may say that the plant has no mind. I tell them that the plant is alive & conscious. 

A plant may not talk, but there is a spirit in it that is conscious, that sees everything, which is the soul of the plant, its essence, what makes it alive. The channels through which the water and sap move are the veins of the spirit.

For nothing is fixed,
 

forever, forever, forever, 


it is not fixed;
 

the earth is always shifting,

the light is always changing,

the sea does not cease to grind down rock.

Generations do not cease to be born,
 

and we are responsible to them
 

because we are the only witnesses they have.
 

The sea rises, the light fails, 


lovers cling to each other, 


and children cling to us.
 

The moment we cease to hold each other, 


the moment we break faith with one another,
 

the sea engulfs us and the light goes out.

—James Baldwin
