“The real reason why so few men believe in God is that they
have ceased to believe that even a God can love them.”
Thomas Merton, No Man Is an Island

it seems so simple
God is love
Love is God
and so love becomes
the path to God
the path from God
and ultimately the proof of God
that love we feel
coming toward us
that love we feel
moving from us
it is all Sacred
it is all God
but we have blocked love
with our self loathing
we have refused to believe that we are loved
that we are loveable
and thus we find ourselves alone
accompanied only by our fears, our doubts
and we can no longer find God
for we look for God in ideology
and dogma
in rules and ritual
but God is not in those things
God is in the love that comes to us
And
stays
