There is a story I tell and I have no idea where it came from. I just tell it. It is about a person who argues there is no God! They stand up with fire and fight and say, “I am an astronaut and I have been to the reaches of space and I can attest, there is no God!” Another person in the crowd, a musician, stands peacefully and quietly, turns to the same group of people, holds up his violin, and says, “That is like saying, I have taken apart this violin piece by peace and can attest there is no music!” Believe, joy and witness is not in the factual evidence of our lives but in the living, believing and trust of it. God is not a noun-like tangible presence, God is that which takes you on a journey of faith and love of your life. God is a verb.
I have been talking about being prompted to pull a book of my shelf to read it after carrying it with me for many years. Today I found the purchase receipt inside. It is faded and hard to read however I can see I purchased it October 7, 2008 and am further in awe of the great spirit and the journey I am on. It was just this week I pulled it off the shelf, 17 years later, almost to the day of purchase.
The wonders of spiritual awareness. I am in awe every day!
