The Field Beyond Ideas

I met you there.  I knew it instantly.  There was no  need for words.  We listened.  We listened to the symphony of the wind and trees.  We watched the mischievous night sky as he let the wind pile up clouds to hide the moon and the stars from us.  We felt the wind against our skins and smelled the freshly cut lawns. The gardenia and jasmine in the back yard, even the magnolias down the street were sweet perfume, heady stuff, that stirs the blood and the soul.  The field is Eden and you and I were Adam and Eve.  Behold the perfect man.  Behold the perfect woman.  At that moment when we find the gift of pleasure, that instant when we cannot be separated by time or circumstance, we find also the gifts of salvation and redemption.  To be loved by you is to be loved by God.  In giving love to you, I give you God's love.  It is all one.  I did not know it until that stunning, earth-shattering moment.
