Untitled<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I experience what other people call \u2018god\u2019 in a different way.<\/p>\n
God is tucked away in the mundane.<\/p>\n
They shine through every inch of nature\u2019s beauty that I see every day.<\/p>\n
God will dance from start to star<\/p>\n
as my eyes adjust to the night sky.<\/p>\n
One star turns to 10 turns to 100 to whole galaxies of stars.<\/p>\n
God whispers secrets into the cool air<\/p>\n
of the first spring day I open all the windows in my home.<\/p>\n
Fresh air becomes part of every corner.<\/p>\n
I tell the world my secrets while protected<\/p>\n
by the silence of a fresh two feet of snow.<\/p>\n
The silence of the world around me is loud enough to<\/p>\n
drown out my words as my breath meets the December air.<\/p>\n
Mushrooms making their home on fallen trees gain sustenance<\/p>\n
from feeding the cycle of life and death.<\/p>\n
I make sure to thank God for the satiation of<\/p>\n
gulps of water when I wake up at 3am.<\/p>\n
How can you not see God in tree canopies?<\/p>\n
We give them gifts of carbon dioxide from our lungs and<\/p>\n
they say \u2018thank you\u2019 with oxygen from theirs.<\/p>\n
The glimmer of true happiness in someone\u2019s eyes<\/p>\n
and the rare sightings of the Aurora Borealis from my hometown<\/p>\n
tie for the biggest miracles I\u2019ve seen performed.<\/p>\n
Tides kiss the shore at the direction of the moon-<\/p>\n
How can that not be the Divine?<\/p>\n
My prayers look like leaving flowers where I find them<\/p>\n
purely because they are beautiful and someone else needs to see the beauty.<\/p>\n
Religious texts are composed of<\/p>\n
every sunrise I have not seen.<\/p>\n
I will never see every form God takes but I am going to try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
