“You are closer to me than I am, God.
You shine through my chaos and confusion
from my innermost self.
You know my weak points and my hurt places,
the habits I resort to and the goals that sustain me.
You well up in me.
You hold me in the palm of your hand.
I can’t quite grasp this – it’s just too big.
Understanding flits by in the corner of my mind
and is quickly gone.
You’re in all of this from the big bang to
the outer edge of space and time.
You are the seed at my center from my birth to now
to my death and beyond.
Deep in every growing bone, every forming love,
every struggled thought.
There is nowhere that you that you are not.
Search me, try me, purify me.
Lead me to the way of Oneness with you.”
