little nuts and an angel's conception

Dear Maureen (and Elsbeth),

 

(Elsbeth, I will write more about how angels conceive, this is a bit of an

intro.)

Sometimes I think Jesus was a 'Back to Nature' kind of person, the way we

were in the sixties, or JJ Rousseau at the beginning of the age of

enlightenment. Jesus must have been and felt himself a little nut.. Why not,

maybe he was even a bit squished at conception. Gabriel did not leave Mary

much choice but complying willingly... Jesus must have known he was an

insignificant little mustard seed, a kind of weed really... Then he learned

to look at the lilies in the field and the daisies... as the apocryphal

story writes about, when he played with little John... considering already,

early on, blood on people's fingers.

There is a miracle behind pain, pain comes with the unwelcome or unwanted

metamorphosis in the miracle. When we welcome conception wholeheartedly as a

metamorphosis leading into birth, the little 'nutty sperm' becomes a little

blissed out at meeting the little 'egged on' ovum and both go a little

nuts... (translate 'as above so below ' into 'as in large so in small'), the

nut thinks that the ovum is hard to crack... the ovum figures that the nut

is....

We (!) take it from there... and morph into each other...Me (!)

W / M

Jesus must have intensively felt what compliance to the processes of nature

meant to Mary and Gabriel. It must have been a dicey thing this commission

that Gabriel had to fulfil... He must have surrendered fully to his task...

"Hey, this could be nice!" :-) but also... messengers can also be shot...

:-(

In Jesus' case the message was nailed to the cross... (+) with a scroll at

the top (~) INRI (There is a lot more to this little scroll than we

think...)

 

Good Friday and Easter coming up...

 

Love,
