Sun, 7.3.2022, near midnight:
I’ve unlocked/unpublished several entries.
More will be released as I go through them, as there’s a lot of embedding. I did a lot of interweaving in the months of October 2020 and May 2021.
What you’re seeing is the gentle piecing together of my Intimacy with Father, the same Intimacy Jesus’ has.. a definite revelation for me, as God was always the punishing God when I was growing up. Up to this point, Jesus was the Person of the Godhead I could clearly see.. now the Eternal Father begins to come forward, or I to Him.
What I remember about this time was having gone to my secular Carmelite silent retreat, one we have every year. Whatever I learned there, I internalized and it fueled my prayer life for months. I wrote prolifically (if you can call it that.. I don’t think it qualifies), it was a wonderfully cultivated habit that piggy-backed off my interior life which was very, very strong at the time. Mental prayer was something I did every morning, evening.. I thrived in candlelight, beneath the gaze of the Eternal Father. Covid annihilated it & I’ve been trying to build it back ever since.. Obviously, I’m reading what God tells me: the writing during this period is incredibly reflective, full of Light & Love, just beneath the surface. It’s still there, but muted because of distraction, I can feel it. But.. there’s an interesting development that makes it a lot easier to pull away, pray, and write.. which I’ll detail in upcoming entries..
I locked these with the intention of stitching these together, expanding on the ideas herein into a formalized piece, and publishing it.. it’s still priceless to me. Now, though, it doesn’t matter if it’s out there. I want our Father to be known & loved. I can’t stand the silence about Him in the world. It’s unjust and unnecessary. It’s a great absence of Love for souls, we’re all missing something when we don’t have Him in our lives. We can see it in the culture, we can see it in our families.
o, how I could go on..

Sun, 7.3.2022, am:
..this is to be continually updated until all of what I’ve written on the Eternal Father are posted. There are perhaps 10 within the past year, two years..
Something told me today was the day to resurrect this & open up Eternal Gaze, which has been in hiding for about a year now. There will be updates, more writing on the Father as I sit & contemplate Him.. and, of course, keep Him company.
I plead with you.. join me. Whatever you read here, whatever stirs you, take it back to Our Father & see what it is He wants to tell you. This is His work with me in my soul. How’s He working with yours? Blessed be God forever.
