same coin.

wholeness and longing are two sides of the same coin. the one who stirred your longing came only to remind you of your own wholeness; this person does not make you whole. God makes you whole and the longing is your call to remember. it rains when it pours because anytime you begin to forget something so important, you will be made to remember, again and again, until it sticks or until you learn your way home.

question and answer are two sides of the same coin. the one who raised the question came only to remind you of your own certainty; they are not the one from whom certainty is derived. God is the source and to whom your certainty must always return. the doubts, questions and lack that arise are the loving call into your own remembrance.

you’ll be made to stumble in the dark, on hands and knees, until you can see, “i know what this place is, now.”

you thought life was a restaurant (order what’s on the menu and starve while you wait) until you saw it was a school (no holidays and only the headmistress who hates you) and finally recognized it as a temple (every day a devotion and ritual of love) that returns you to the divine.
