The new or divine begetting is just as real as the first begetting in the mother's womb. The child of God is forever being born.
~ from AGAPE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT by Ceslaus Spieg
I think joy and sweetness and affection are a spiritual path. We're here to know God, to love and serve God, and to be blown away by the beauty and miracle of nature. You just have to get rid of so much baggage to be light enough to dance, to sing, to play. You don't have time to carry grudges; you don't have time to cling to the need to be right.
