Family Traits

There must be genetic similarities between our Father and human kind. For all our variation, there are things each one of us carry which link us to Him.
The way we look at clouds and see shapes.
The need we have to make something with our hands.
The drive to be outside.
Our ceaseless thirst for companionship.
The way we marvel at a sunset.
Our insistence on naming things.
The drive of the seasons, our response to rhythm.


Then, there are other things which make us children, and not fully grown.
Our awe of the mysterious.
Our fear of the dark.
Our all consuming pain which blots out His presence.
Our souls, too easily satisfied with what does not fill us.
Our confusion about what is most True.
