God, hidden in us - too hidden

Even the shadow of God is brilliant, so brilliant,

So much so even God has trouble looking at Himself as that …

Unless God is more disguised, hidden in illusion,

hidden as God can be, in us.

______________________________________

There are some things we simply fail (often)

to take seriously about God (Sacred)

we have our views of God

that are so limited and frail

little old man

cranky parent

god as arbitrary

and perhaps even cruel

certainly judgmental

we forget it seems

that God is Mother as well as Father

and forget that all our images are painfully limited

we forget that God is

so transcendent, so big

we forget that God is

so intimate, so close

we forgot God is love

that God is truth

that God is creative power

that God is light

and we forget

alas

that God

who is everywhere, everywhere

is also in us

We are carriers of God

Little pieces of Sacred are woven into our being

And the more we are open to that presence

The more we connect with that presence

The more we go deep, and become intimate

With our immanent intimate God

The more we shine

Maybe the world would be a better place

If the “Christ in Us’

Were not quite

So

Hidden
