My dearest God,

In the darkness
of the early morning,
I crept downstairs
to write.
I turned on the Be Still and Know tape
and I listened.
Your presence
filled every crevice
of the room.
I sensed Your awesome spirit
and the cluttered basement
became a sanctuary.
The music played.
And my soul sang,
danced to the Living Spirit.
A deep well,
an even deeper spirit
was revealed.
The truth of myself
was revealed,
a child whose love for God
is deep, abiding.
A transformation springs forth
when a human creature
meets the Divine
and knows it,
acknowledges it.
Beauty radiates
just as God would have it.
When a child
ceases to have her own way
and seeks God alone,
something sparks in the universe.
A new star is birthed,
a new light shines
and it is God,
eternity
that lights up the sky.
Is there no greater joy
to God
than seeking the light of his face?

Love always, Andrea
