Ah, what a God we have

What kind of God would He be

if He did not hear the bangles ring on

an ant’s wrist

as they move the earth

in their sweet

dance?

And what kind of God would He be

if a leaf’s prayer was not as precious to creation

as the prayer His own son sang

from the glorious depth

of his soul –

for us.

And what kind of God would He be

if the vote of millions in this world could sway Him

to change the divine

law of

love

that speaks so clearly with compassion’s elegant tongue,

saying, eternally saying:

all are forgiven – moreover, dears,

no one has ever been

guilty.

What

kind of God would He be

if He did not count the blinks

of your

eyes

and is in absolute awe of their movements?

What a God - what a God we

have.

                                         Kabir

Today my kitten discovered

That you can’t fun full out through the lower glass pain

on a French doo

Today my horses greeted me

Manes frosted with snow

With loving nuzzles

Today Finn the dog proved

That he is indeed a snow dog

Racing manically through falling flakes

And cavorting in new found snow drifts

Ah, what a God we have

That God reveals sacred love

in such ways!

It is good to know

that the divine law of love

is alive and well

because sometimes it doesn’t feel like

as patients struggle to get well

and business ledgers don’t balance

and hate abounds

and corruption flourishes

and emails pill up

and relationships falter

and communities are divided

and one’s soul gets tired, and a bit tattered

by all the ugliness

But ah, what a God we have

This God who gifts us

With snow and trees

Mountains and rivers

Horses and dogs

And yes, even cats

Ah what God we have

Who eternally reminds us

All is forgiven

Who speaks with “compassion’s elegant tongue”

Who eternally confirms

That we have never, ever, ever, been unloved

Ah what a God we have

Who finds so many ways to lift our eyes

And draw our hearts toward the heavens

Aaaah
