Present


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
