What is your lifeline? What sustains you when desolation overwhelms you? My lifeline is the presence of God, so close I can feel the divine embrace. It brings me to tears to know I am loved so much. Here is a poem from Karl Rahner, given to me by a friend, a precious embodiment of Love.
Can it really be possible
we are so tightly bonded
that our breath is one breath?
Can it be You are intertwined
in every thought of mine
that steps into consciousness?
Can it be that Your great love
forever mingles with my own?
If so, I gladly lose myself
in the closeness of Your presence.

in the closeness of Your presence.
