I Love Mystery and Share Godward Meditation

I God had a thought That is the Universe Including you, sun, stars, grasses Like the Eternal Author All else are merely prop and personae II God's thought may be like an Ocean I enjoyed being a wave From the tiniest drop in the ocean I became a ripple; I grew I loved growing ... and rushing forward Though I saw others bigger and more colorful Crashing on the shores of mortality Sinking back in Oneness with Ocean III I plunged forth, gathering speed and form (Foam too, as I frothed at the competition) I towered above other waves; was the envy of surfers I can see I will crash and die But I am in my prime, in the heart of Ocean I cannot be a pessimist (so close to July 4th) I keep moving on, hot sun or cloud notwithstanding: Last night I dreamed of looking back at Ocean To compare our relative sizes I must have grown mighty, too, I dreamed My ego was me: a false me, without steam I know I will be part of Ocean again In the mind of a Good God Who thought the Universe in a split second And the thought wants to make God the object?
