HERE, HERE! THERE, THERE!
HERE HERE! THERE THERE!
My motto is common; one echoed by others in innumerable ways. It is:
"Here Here! There There!"
It simply means that I must handle what can be handled, while it can be handled, wherever it is I am. My rationale for this motto is simple:
We are gifted in life with multiple tools with which to access divinity.
Immanent and innate are most of, if not all of, these tools, which access us by our senses and sensibilities to transport us to a sublime divine .
Joy, bodily pleasures, are surely parts of this divine-gifted panoply of blessed tools like : faith, truth, beauty, harmony, riches, power, wisdom, love, and knowledge .
Access such as you can in this life. It is your reasonable reward that is unique to you amid your particular circumstances , which govern you.
Handle it here, while you are here. When you are there, then do there!
God is in control anyway of "it" all!
