My Many Muses

There was a time I couldn't see God at all – my good muse came to me in many blossoms, the elevating scent and beauty of such creation was my lift to higher realms There was a time, I did not believe there was a God – Muse came to me in the form of a grade-school teacher who told me, I was worth any suffering There was a time when God was simply a myth, till a loving wife and birth of a child taught the meaning of presence Whatever the good muse, where you and the muse have gathered in good faith, there also is God.....

Perhaps, Joe, but I will never understand why God continues to get all the credit for what we poor humans actually do.

Mysterious are the ways through which God reveals Himself to us ! You happened to meet God through many agents who influenced your life. Again continuing to be in His hold is more important. This kind of open sharing will help others also to find God. Stay blessed dear Joe.

Hi Valsa -- full disclosure, the wife left me and the children are distant now. But the spiritual revelations seeded, though lying dormant for many years, returned me to life. Blessings my friend. Oh, the teacher, long gone is still a near angel.

Nice! Certain things point to God. The Buffalo Bengals game was quite interesting, for instance. God bless you, dear one!

Yes! So uplifting and heartfelt to see so many come together in prayer. On their knees appealing to our loving God, unlike the usual lamp political protest. Sad it takes a tragedy. Blessings my friend.

My cat sometimes my muse:) It is all God. Our physical eyes could not hold His/her entire image.

You operate on higher realms my friend, having found the meaning of life and happiness. Loving wife and child are among the blessings to live for-- as you so lovingly convey. I feel the graceful voice of your poem.
