God      Good Orderly Direction

I don’t know what to call it so I call it God

That exquisite flowering of every piece of me I had once relegated to the shadows

or what happens when poetry opens its fist in my heart setting light free.

The seed didn’t know what to call it either, This Song, This Relationship, This thing that led to the exquisite unfoldment of its own Nameless Self.

If you come up with a better name, let me know. 

Until then I’ll call it God, the One who moves me to dip the cup of consciousness into the waters of existence and whispers from every ordinary, precious moment, 

“drink deep.”

Gratefulness is not something we acquire; it is something we tune into.
