Imagine a pyramid with 3 faces or sides. Each side represents one Person of the Trinity. Inside the enclosed space is an inexpressible dynamic of unity and the exchange of love. It is not static, but moving, flowing, never-ending energy of giving and receiving, ever-new, ever-surprising, ever fresh. Think of gorgeous spring days and the eternal surprise of newly-discovered love. Think of energizing conversations and acceptance. Think of ever-flowing surprise!
It does not matter whether we enter the pyramid through the Face of the Father, the Creator of heaven and earth, or through the Son, who redeemed and made all things new again, or through the Spirit, who blows where He wills and renews the face of the earth----As we enter, we are caught up in the exchange of love and life and energy among the Three.
The Father eternally creates and gives all He is and has to the Son;
The Son eternally receives ever-new life and love from the Father and returns it to the Father in gratitude and thanksgiving;
The Spirit is the eternal energy and exchange of life and love between the Father and the Son.
The Spirit eternally shows us the Face of Jesus and re-creates in us the Spirit of the Son.
Jesus eternally shows us the Face of His beloved Father, and brings us to the Father;
The Father eternally bestows on us the Spirit of life and love.
What need have we of petty arguments and strife, of jealousy and discontent, of preserving territory and possessions? If we are willing to surrender everything, we can enter into the life of the Father, the Son, and the Spirit of God.

This image of God is on our dollar bills. Historically, maybe it has always been known that there are many manifestations of the presence of Infinite Caring in our lives, all under the watchful "eye" of The Almighty.
