is my parsing of
Our Father who art in heaven
which is the first line of The Lord's Prayer
Abba means father but is more familiar
more like Dad or even chum
I believe Abba is in heaven but that heaven
is potentially within us all
Which means Abba is within us all
Abba may be the ultimate mystery that lies
past all efforts to grasp or comprehend
But he is also our link to the whole
and to each other
We evolve
Life evolves
Abba is with us
How else could we address him
By saying that heaven is Abba's home
we say thumbs up to the process
of which we are all a part
Indeed when our lives are in synch and our
relationships are moving along
we experience heaven on earth
And of course this prayer is all about that
For the journey on which we are embarked is
precisely towad the goal
of making earth more heavenly
So Abba is not in a home separated from us
When we are in synch with Abba
we are in heaven too
