It is easier to love broadly and generally to see the face of God in every being to keep the details at a distance like when you kind-of half-cross your eyes and everything becomes just A little bit fuzzy. The ‘I love you when I see you clearly’ is much harder when you notice the stains on his teeth, that crap in the inside corner of his big toe that’s probably been there for years, and the guarding that keeps him always ten to twenty steps back.
When he is soft around the edges, you can keep him there a little ghost-like and unreal But, the moment you steady your gaze you see him, so so so very Far Behind Your arms stretch out of their own accord – the craving for something real and solid breaks that blaring siren right open like the hungry heart weeping in its desire for communion.
You crave him like the starving lust after any food placed in front of them. Your arms shatter in your searching, body puddling your weeping need tears spill the Earth in surrender until you are yielded back into the soil from which you arose.
