About Me

My photo
I am a pastor and a clinical psychotherapist. My life's passion is defining healthiness from a human perspective and paralleling it to the holiness of God, divine perspective. Shifting perspectives creates a paradigm that is alongside of rather than over and against. The parakalein of God and the paradoxes of humanity are redefined. Humanity is all about winning and yet we are losing ground everywhere. Divinity is all about letting go of the desire to win and the fear of loss. The Divine embraces the world with loving care regardless of anything.

Boxes and circles

Posted by Don Paine




Ever expanding boxes becomes a circle of love. John Donne said the greatest graphic of God is a circle as it had no end or beginning.  God simply and profoundly is.


Humanity makes boxes of knowledge, boxing people out and boxing people in, out of fear of not knowing
 and out of a desire to control through knowledge.

Self makes circles of calm inclusion and compassionate expansion
that knows that it is not about knowing but not knowing, not needing to know ,  not kneading anyone into my knowing, but about the expanse of knowing.



An ever expanding world in an ever open space.  All things round and rolling, smooth and streaming, silence and surrounded by sound.
