Evening: Psalms 140, 142; John 10:19-42
A man orders from a Buddhist Pizza Parlour: “Make me one with everything.” He complains when shortchanged ... the proprietor responds, “Change must come from within.” Get it? ... Seeking ‘oneness with all things’ is the quest of every mystical religious tradition. Of course, when Jesus says “The Father and I are one”, he claims identity with God; that offends the sensibilities of the pious types. But if they listen deeply to Jesus, he also opens up the possibility that they too might find harmony with the wisdom of the Universe ... when they trust him.
