We Are the Voice of God - To Ron
 
We all have God’s voice
within,
we are the Divine Voice
that sparks life into our being,
 
I hear that voice
in everyone I listen to,
everything I see,
everything I read
or hear,
it is always my voice
no matter who speaks it, 
it is always your voice.
 
At each moment 
I choose what I can handle
of the spirit,
only what I can put into words
for myself and others.
 
I draw that divine energy
and weave it with materials 
from my earthly life
gathering sticks, straw, silk,
bits of moss and feathers 
just like a bird,
to build a  nest
where I can safely rest 
and disappear
empty of self, 
embracing all experiences,
devoid of labels and categories,
feeling pain as a step to  bliss,
anger as a step to unity,
frustration as a step to forgiveness,
a way to forgive myself, 
love my Self
love your Self
in the suffering of the displaced
staggering  through fields of frozen ice, 
half naked,
or the one stumbling in a desert,
cracked lips and blistered feet
under a scorching  sun
to find a safe place,  
a place to call home
a place where each bitter tear of agony
will become the pearl of a necklace
we roll under our fingers
as we recite life’s rosary
of pain and bliss
like a distant memory
of living our life
as the mystery 
of ever arriving home to our  true selves
to the place of love
in eternal knowing.
