When The Jonquils Bloom Again

A young woman grows, blossoms and flowers missing love meant to be part of every child's life. The gentle love she needs is expressed in other ways, giving pain instead of pleasure at the guidance of a spokesman of religion meant to teach love. That missing tenderness is found in the love of her aunt, most accutely felt when she is sick over her aunt's knee, experiencing a loving gentle enema instead of a paddling. These things confuse an otherwise typical teen in areas of love. This beginning confuses her thinking and relationships with God and man. It ends with her love story in the arms of a special man who loves his flower just as she is, a Jonquil, not a Rose, and in the light of God's love holding her baby up to a blue sky knowing God loves them all.

As she grows her innocence is twisted as all our innocences are twisted in that universal perverter of all human minds, socialization. She is born as we all are, loved and loving just as she is, a cooing happy baby. Then she changes. The light of love and knowing she is loved by God and everybody slowly dims and is replaced by the dullness of her trying to be as others wish her to be, forgetting the love that beams down through blue skys creating all life. She learns to be appart from love, cultured and be as she is told to be, a necessary thing to live through the darkness between days light. Unfortunately to be cultured often means learning to do what we are taught is right, not what we know is right. She learns to live in fear not love. She believes God is not beaming love into her, but watching behind the clouds, waiting for her to make a mistake so he can punish her.

She is taught to expect things that hurt and correct as an expression of love. They can be. Love is also expressed in things that feel good. The most gentle physical sensual touching she experiences is during her first enemas as a little girl, and far more frequent enemas after she develops Irritable Bowel Syndrome as a teenager. It is normal to enjoy and desire this. What isn't normal is missing this kind of touching and love in other areas. It should have been poured into her every day in touches, hugs and pats on the head, as it should as a part of being loved and cared for as a child, a human being, just because she is. This isn't there in her early life. She is missing knowledge and experience about life and love, then expected, as we all are, to have hopes and dreams “normal” in every way! She loves being cared for in ways that are not really “normal” --- spankings and enemas. Sharon is confused and feels guilt over this. She is a deviant, unworthy of God or anyone’s love, or at least so she thinks. She is wrong.

The Greatest Thing In The World, by Professor Henry Drummond is the great sermon of love in Christianity. It was first published and millions of copies have been sold since 1880. We are providing this entire eighteen page sermon unedited and free on line, and as part of the book, When The Jonquils Bloom Again, by Sister Sharon. When The Jonquils Bloom Again is a love story, a love story based on the type of love taught by Saint Paul and Jesus in the New Testament. Sharon has a fantasy, a fantasy that hurts no one. Enemas properly given only enhance health, and well-being. (Please see Dr. Knox's article How To Give An Enema. This is true of properly given enemas. It does not always apply to incorrectly given ones.) Having enemas fills her need to be loved.

Christians believe God is Love. Growing toward the example of Jesus in being Love is the focal point of Christianity. This makes her sin, only a sin, IF it separates her from experiencing God's love. In this love story she learns to love herself as God intends all of us to love ourselves and transmits that love to others as we and they are. This book is an example of love as it should be. The Greatest Thing in the World is the text book of love based on the Bible, 1st Corinthians 13. This love, the basis of Christianity, is not just limited to one religion, one people or one culture. It is a common element necessary to living in the sunlight of God's love. It is a fundamental trait of all paths to God. Understanding love through example, as in the book, or by analysis as in the sermon, is a fundamental threshold to coming to live in heaven, whether that heaven be in love and being here on earth or coming to live in the presence of the source of all love outside the bounds of time.

In owning this book, or in giving it to others, it is hoped that this love, this sunshine, this blue skyed day from half a century ago lights a dark corner with more love than was there with its reading.
A book for lovers,
