What I'm seeing is it's the fool on the hill, or whether he be in the low place or the high place, that keeps going on as the fool for Christ that he is -- for that's all his heart is set upon, even though he may want to get rid of the thorn in the flesh And I have the feeling that whether he knows it or not, it's because of the thorn in his flesh that keeps driving him on -- for it's the same thorn that eventually drives him all the way back into the arms of his Beloved -- even that of which we receive a good taste of right here where we are, in the world but not of it!

The more we experience this, the less we feel the pain of the thorn and our hearts are set aflame hotter and hotter again and again by the power of tha tInfinite Unconditional Fire of Love within that will not let us go -- or let us quit! it's the reason we live and love as the I Am in Be-ing -- to be, or not to be, in the body, or out the body! As Spirit Beings we delight in being fools, heretics, lunatics for Christ!

And John, this awareness is the only thing that keeps my head from spinning round no matter what the world is doing!
