I Don'T Know

I Don’t know 
that God has favorites
or enemies…
probably just behavior
he loves or deplores--
then again, who am I
to put limits on God?
For those who love Him
swear He is a personal God;
and those who are estranged
seem to have a hell-of-a-time
to compare--
and, of course, there is the Atheist
who stands alone in himself 
while I could not live alive
without experience of spirit:
sort of like, eating only the skin
of an orange--or seeing the surface
of a great sea, unaware of the
myriad world within….

Talking to God, is to a person who is in you. Nobody may give a hoot about what you think or say. He does... Panagiota. Happy Mothers Day

Hi my good friend; spirit is everything to me. I guess, some would think me insane, walking around all day in my head having an ongoing conversation with God. I go nowhere alone:)
