What time? The now time, the present available time. The I AM time. The time that is right now in this second time. The time of fruition of God’s time, of God’s Presence, of God’s Promises, which are all happening now, in this moment that God is… that God is in right now.
Jesus is speaking to the Father that this is the time for the fruition of God’s purpose in Christ, in God’s own self, that is to come to pass. The time to give humankind the ability to return to the roots, to return to the memory, the knowing of humankind’s union with Christ. The time of revealing, of reminding, that the garden was always available for the dance. The dance in the garden of relationship.
Relationship. What does that mean? The true relationship, the transparent relationship, the one that entails walking, sharing, listening, enjoying one another’s presence, simply being together in silence breathing in the other’s cadence, movements, steps, or in the rhythm of conversation listening fully to the other’s heart in their words. The relationship of resting in one another, no performance, no work…just the dance.
God still calls out to us for this garden walk of daily, abiding unstrained relationship. Nothing has ever changed except our vision, except our ability to see that God yearns for and is available…waiting for us to see that the garden is here…the garden is now, in this time…right now.
The time has come…now is the time to enter in, now is the time to take a walk, now is the time to rest in, drink in, and see what is there, what is here, right now. What has always been, and what remains even if we don’t.
Child, the time has come…
