I sat down next to God today, On 12th and Main. He smiled at me like He always does, Offering that same stick of gum. No, says I, I think I'll pass. He nods, putting it away into His coat pocket. He watches the birds, the same ones He feeds each day. You know, says He, if I were to stop feeding these birds... ...they wouldn't die. I nod. This is the same statement He has uttered before. You see, He continues, the human race and all that live on this earth Are beyond extraordinary at birth. I made them that way, you see. They don't need Me here. No...I did it this way. They need me there I nod. This is the same statement He has made before. He smiles, brushing crumbs off of his dark hands. I love them, He murmurs, and I smile. I know, says I. I have always known. It's hard to watch them fall down, says He. I know, says I. I have always known. He nods, taking my hand in His warm palm. Not yet, he states with wisdom. No, not yet, I assent. I am not a parent. He smiles. He knows. He has always known. Shall we meet here tomorrow? He asks. I nod. This is the same question He has asked before. I'm not sure my faith is strong enough, yet, I say. To forgive You yet. He nods, watching the birds. I know, says He. But I am here, when you can forgive Me. I nod. I know. I have always known. Will you forgive me? He nods. I still hurt, I murmur. He nods. I know, says He. You let me fall. He nods. You broke my heart. He nods. I haven't forgiven You yet. He nods. He knows. He has always known. Same place tomorrow, then? I ask. Knowing. He nods. Same place, tomorrow. |

Author's Commentsnot like my normal stuff, but i've seriously been contemplating what the meaning of my life is lately. i'm reflecting back on my religious beliefs and finding comfort, and accusations, aimed at God. it's strange. no one around me is particularly religious, so my reflection is only based on myself and my own growth. i only hope that i don't end up blaming God, but understanding that I'll never truly understand. |
