I have been privileged to hang out with a load of baptists for the past few days looking at Other. I was asked to share a little but loved the input from others in particular Abdul Rehman Malik’s session Everything perishes except the face of God. I wanted to blog the thoughts but I cannot find an order of logic so hear goes a splurg.<\/p>\n
I long for the other, I want to explore, I let myself breathe and jump in with both feet.
\nI find my self caught not by the person but by the space.
\nThe encounter with other brings realization that no difference is found.
\nA visceral awakening that this space is beyond, a space in between, and space that is clean.
\nThe other is self and together we are held.
\nThe holding amplified, so our uniqueness remains
\nIt is a feeling that cannot be conveyed
