If you searching for signs to see that God is just like you

March 6, 2021 by Russell Wardlow Leave a Comment

if you wanna see God smile
visit California

if you don’t think God cries too
go to Portland

if you wanna see God blow out candles
travel to Oklahoma

if you wanna know when God feels blase
head to Montana

if you question if there’s any more to life
leave north Dakota

if you don’t believe God holds grudges
become friends with an Alaskans

and if you don’t believe God can be indecisive
live in Nebraska

and after you do all this, you may just go to a mirror and see,
God in you
or even more audaciously,
god is You
because You are in God’s image
You and God are one
though logic separates you
the spirit joins you
although you can’t see the spirit
you feel its effect
just like God
but I say, you can see God
stop searching, and Look
but maybe this is why self-reflection is so hard a thing to do, and grasp
because you’ve been taught that you can’t look God in the eyes
and if you were finally able,
who would you admit this discovery to?
so like they say, God is all around you
and if you so happen to find God
keep what you find to yourself
history reflects that lesson
