Dearest God,

How do our spirits meet, yours and mine?  Do you come for me and I acquiesce or do I come to you and you welcome me?  What is the formula for the human and divine to really connect?

In my darkest hours I have such a deep longing to draw close to you.  Does that come because you are calling me to take a step forward or does my desperation bring you near?

It is not only the darkness that calls from me to you but also my highest moments where I want to celebrate with you or is it the other way around?  When my joy is full to overflowing and I know you as its source I can't help but want to link my spirit with yours.  What good is a spiritual high if not acknowledged and shared with you?

Indeed my lowest and highest moments call for a deep connection.  I know that.  But what about the "ordinary" time, the middle time when I am not experiencing a particular high or low, how do we stay in touch?  How do I do my part to live a meaningful life with you?  How do I live a life worthy of heaven's bond?  How do I praise you with my life?

I want
every moment
to be
a spiritual moment
with you.
I do not want
to live
any moment
without you,
as if
you do
not exist.
I want
to live
for you.
Teach me,
Lord,
the way
to stay close,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
