Something I wrote a while ago. I have a bunch of new FB friends who may not have seen it. The Twelve Roses of the Cross This morning I woke up and Jesus was with me. Now that is strange since I am not a Christian (born again or otherwise). But there he was; projection, thought form, Son Of God…you decide. I asked him what he thought of my latest idea; ”The Twelve Roses of the Cross”. We would create a garden with twelve beautiful rose bushes; each a different color to symbolize an aspect of Mastery. There would be a yellow rose bush for Self-Acceptance (probably the first), a pink rose bush for Forgiveness, a white rose bush for Steadfastness…you get the idea. The last bush would be purple for Compassion; for alignment with the Divine. At each rose bush people would stop, open their hearts, and meditate on the message. The good news is Jesus would be waiting at the end of the garden, to put his arm around each person, and give them a big hug. Between you and me, he really liked the idea! He felt it was s a lot more appropriate than having people work themselves up about crucifixion, blood and those kinds of things. Especially for the children. He wants so badly that we not expose our children to that stuff. If we feel we need to do this, he wont interfere…but the children…honestly, it breaks his heart. We talked a little about how to publicize this and we decided we better keep a low profile. He was particularly concerned that The Twelve Roses of the Cross not become the foundation of a new religion that forced its adherents to circumambulate the garden. He told me the last thing he wanted was for the children to be forced to put on stiff clothes and stare somberly at the rose bushes while some guy in black intoned his name! But you should have seen the smile on his face when he envisioned each of us finally making it to the last bush! It was like there was no greater gift which anybody could give him; no cathedral, no Hallelujah Chorus, no fundraiser…nothing even close. And all this before my morning coffee. I hope he comes back tomorrow.
