Turn your gaze downward
He’s not in the ether far above
Rather present in the dust and dirt of daily life
-
Not a distant voice from an unreachable realm
But here, now, within and beside
Fatherly, brotherly, sisterly, motherly
-
It is not us, but it is as near to us as ourselves
It is Love itself calling us beyond ourselves
It is God, present, here, now
