The Heartbeat of God

1 Comment

Have we forgotten that all creation is one

glorious outpouring from the womb of the Divine?

Early bird song and emerging light,

the rhythmic crashing of ocean waves,

a baby whale leaping with its mother,

and peony buds unfolding their delight.

The solid silence of mountains,

the gurgling of streams,

the fecund smell of wetlands,

and sunlight on bare sycamores.

Green daffodils shoots pushing up,

warm puppy body curled up in the night,

and oh that sweet smell of a baby.

 

All created things

breathing together.

Have we forgotten we are one?

What would happen on this planet

if all humanity remembered?
