Believe in Something

The universe I always speaking to us

Sending us little messages,

Coincidences and serendipities

Reminding us to stop, to look around

To believe in something else,

Something more

I am sometimes

In the desert

Brittle and cracked

Dry

Surrounded by hot red earth and rocks

It feels as if there is no way out

No solution

What am I supposed to do?

Get water from a stone?

But Sacred touch happens (Exodus 17)

And waters gush

Fresh and clear

Life giving

Even from the very rocks

Of fear and anger

Hate and selfishness and greed

Ah, the touches of Sacred along the way

Mountains touched by morning sun

Puppy enthusiasms

The taste of coffee on the tongue

The smile of one treasured

the dawning of understanding

in the eyes of one so long confused

the desert is profound

and there are rocks everywhere

but still

the water flows

Sacred touch abounds

God does crazy things

For

Even the undeserving

For even me

Its just the way God

IS
