Making God Visible:
I stand amidst the impressive invisible silence,
which saturates me with its mysterious and vital essence.
Power and Presence emanate from this flourishing, responsive, and peace filled space.
To the one who pays attention,
Lively waves of thriving, electrical energy quietly surge through this astronomical Living Vastness,
That wants to be known by you.
You can hear It shouting from everywhere, "Here I am! Here I am!"
Listen! Look! Observe!! The Silence is alive!
A Presence waiting for your notice behind the curtain of your eyes!
Notice how It knows you. Of you it is aware.
An astonishing sea of sparkling love,
Arising from everywhere.
Merging its pleasing, revitalizing Nature with all that lives;
this living stillness captivates my mind and softens my heart.
From here, I look upon the long, lithe golden fields of wheat.
Seeing You swaying erotically, intoxicated with the sensual passing breeze,
You wave to me as I go by.
Remaining tipsy in the ecstasy of the moment,
I consent to being absorbed into the symphonic luxuriousness of the Great Spirit, that arouses all of Life.
Eavesdropping on the uninhibited hymns of the birds, I hear them liberally releasing their breathtaking melody.
In their refrain, You are speaking to me…
"Untether your heart. Unleash your song. Open your wings and know what it is to feel profusely alive.
Let your Spirit become high as you dazzle the entire Universe with your charms."
The flaming infinity of colors emanating from everywhere intensely brighten as I gaze upon them.
It's as if You are revealing to me that this astounding wondrous light comes from within, not from above.
Exposing me to the extraordinary magnitude of Your brilliance, and the striking illumination of Your Presence,
I see what I am made of.
Peering into the dark, penetrating eyes of mine “enemy”, who pokes at me with their sharp claws,
It is Your mind-blowing goodness I see winking back at me.
Disclosing to me my colossal strength and enormous power,
You cause me to remember the totality of who I am.
Sprawling in a field of torrential stillness as tender as a deer, yet as fierce as a lion,
There is no need to think.
In the unspoken communication that passes between us,
I know who I am.
The sleeping Giant is Awake in all Its sunny, delightful splendor.
In the ordinary walk of a clever ant racing across my counter,
To the extraordinary magnitude of this profound, inestimable Universe,
You, Great Spirit, are visible to me.
Looking at a flower stem, not yet blooming, but bursting with life, I hear it whisper to me.
"How can you mistake me for what I really am?".
In that instant, erupting inside of me,
I am aware that the over-flowing, generous, and Divine Spirit,
that is looking through my twinkling eyes,
is recognizing the stunning and elegant God-ness blatantly visible within the surging flower stem.
Suddenly, that which was blind and deaf dissolves and
is born into the glorious wonder and majesty of the Infinite.
