My journal: God is in the details

[Guest guest]

They say God is in the details

But is it easy to see Him?

 

It's easy to feel Him in my breath,

But is it easy to see Him in the fumes of factories?

 

It's easy to see Him in the daffodils that push through the hard earth,

But is it easy to see Him in the earthquakes?

 

It's easy to see Him in the pretty little birds in my backyard,

But is it easy to see Him in the airplanes that take flight into the sky?

 

It's easy to see Him in my sleeping baby,

But it is just as easy to see Him in my angry boss?

 

It's easy to see Him in my dreams,

But how easy is it to see Him in my nightmares?

 

It's easy to hear Him in the depths of silence,

But can I hear Him in the middle of a traffic congestion?

 

It's easy to feel Him in the vibration of a sweet song,

But how easy is it to feel Him in the hoarse voices of an angry mob?

 

Tolerance is when I can put up with the angry voices, hurtful accusations,

turning a deaf ear to blaring traffic, waiting patiently for the dust to settle after a storm,

But is tolerance love?

 

Can I love my angry boss as I would love my baby?

Can I truly love a murderer, the same as I would love a saint?

Knowing that it's the same God in all?

 

Can I love destruction and uncertainty,

Knowing it's the same God who's behind them,

As the one who sent me protection and miracles?

 

Who am I to God? What am I to God?

I'm the same to Him as my neighbor, the murderer,

the earthquake and the tiny snail;

I am His child as much as the saint in a monastery, the homeless pauper,

the warring countries, the rivers and the oceans.

No more, no less.

 

I am His creation.

And it is entirely up to Him how He takes care of His creation.

I have no cause or reason to doubt or worry.

All I need to do is live my life - to the fullest,

To find Him in every detail of my life.

That's all. Easy?

 

Sai Ram and Love.
