Indescribable

I was in a black ocean at night. I could see, faintly, dimly. But the darkness was all around me; the waves lapping over my face as I tread water were black. It was very quiet. I knew Jesus was with me, but I could not see Him; nor did I know exactly where He was. Without using my eyes, I "saw" a group of sharks approaching. They did not belong here! They should not be! Jesus popped up out of the water beside me; He saw the sharks and was not concerned. He dove beneath the waves and grabbed my foot, pulling me under -

- in that split second, of breathing air and bobbing up and down with the ocean swells to suddenly being pulled under; I passed through some kind of invisible, intangible barrier.

We were in the heavens. In outer space. Standing in the Universe, in all its vastness. It was indescribable. The colours of the stars - reds, purples, greens, blues. White, of course, but so much more. The stars were arrayed in patterns. Some compact, some spread out; all by design, all beautiful, all glorious. And then I was made aware of the Father's hand. Father God was holding all this vastness in the palm of His hand. The entire Universe fit snugly, safely, and lovingly in Father's hand. I turned to look at Jesus, and this thought crossed my mind: "What are You standing on?" And Jesus laughed, and told me "All things are under My feet. I'm standing on whatever I want!"

I see Jesus hold up His hand. He raised it to His mouth and blows gently across His palm. Tiny glimmering stars waft out and away. They rise and then fall gently into their places - newly born stars. They immediately find their patterns and their colours blaze. They pulse with life. They are singing to God; praising Him and declaring His goodness and love. I take one more look around. Light, colours, patterns everywhere. All is good. Each star is in it's place; each part of the larger pattern; each pattern part of the diversity that is the Universe. Songs of praise being sung both in sound and in light. And perhaps in thought. Even now, back on earth, my spirit pulses in tune with the song of the stars.
