As I Lay beside You Naked
Is this not’ the religion that we all strive for? To be engaged sexually with our lover without remorse or regret, this is true happiness. I can think of nothing more tender than holding your hand and feeling your lips embrace mine. Passionately with delight in one another’ as if we were Gods chosen angels, and commanded to enjoy heavenly bliss! That is after all, part of being lovers as it is here on earth, will be so in heaven. I find this the miracle of salvation. I find this the totality of Christ. For once the bride and groom are wedded, the first thing they indulge upon is a honeymoon. Therefore when the church is finally wed to Christ, our inhibitions’ will no longer be chastised.
Anyone, who has shared love to all its many possibilities, has come to understand the energy, the desire, and the prophecies. I am no longer fooled by what the world tells me’ through its many institutions. I have a mind of my own and with access to the proper historical documents, I can make a decision about my life, and my future. It is by using common sense that one awakens their mind to the spiritual. It is by true concern for others that one learns not to lie. It is playfulness in the eyes of danger and hatred by those who declare themselves’ pure and pious. Whitewash walls fill the many different congregations who claim to do the work of Jesus. As service has now become a paycheck, can any religious teacher claim to preach from honest motives? ‘What help’ focuses so much time and energy on talking, yet never showing results?
I realize they cannot change the world, they are a part of an ideology destined to influences far too many. An ideology of being chosen. As if being born is not enough to prove our worth? We exist, we comprehend, and we wonder. It is a good friend indeed’ who can actually maintain his loyalty and commitment to friendship. It is the one constant ritual performed by every race, religion, and sex. In finding those persons whom we can open up too, we realize that our thoughts are not unique to ourselves. Those many: of the same problems we struggle with, our friends struggle with as well. There’s no need to fear our sins; there is understanding of how hard it is to be good. We realize how often human emotions deceive us, and blind us’ about our true potential. The potential that cannot be measured by life, but only by time.
As I bare my soul, I am once again in the Garden of Eden. I walk naked with the Lord. He sees all of me. In my vulnerable state, I open my heart and mind to allow my soul no coverings. I shall let the lord cover me with his love. We are given the ability to feel every emotion that exists. At some point we believe when we die, we shall never have to feel those negative emotions again. I see no reason why someone who decides to be the child of God, cannot find within themselves the freedom to control ones thoughts’ on all matters concerning religion. I believe my faith, I trust my faith, and my faith shall guide me into the nakedness of love. For as surely as he hung naked from the cross, I have hung naked’ realizing, his shame.
