Finding God: The Intangible Essence of Faith

I climbed a mountain with an intense need for peace

I was tired, weak in need of rest and rehab

but the devil followed me

mocked every step I took

questioned every flower

and every new shoot

found myself looking through a lens

doubt colored every shadowed form

instead of calm I found questions

I became addicted to knowing

God insisted

trust me and you will see

the whole valley

given up 

but I questioned my path

and I questioned my abilities

even while all the gifts

lay out before me like paradise

I was in need

of something, something that offered

any remnant of calm

I climbed a mountain seeking peace

You will find God in silence, or it would be more correct to say you will reailize God in silence. Earth is loud, we as spiritual beings are constantly fighting to hear silence and know nature while the world and all its distractions fight for our attention.

Add electronic devices that capture our attention and visual interest and God blends into the background. I have recently learned to turn off the radio and intentionally enjoy silence and even than thoughts and ideas scream to be heard. 

When you are trying not to be distracted the distractions get more loud and you start to realize the battle we as spiritual beings fight on a daily basis.

Just like Peace, God is very subtle and intangible, it's very easy to ignore the God winks and stumble right through the miracles that happen every day with little wisdom gained from each experience. 

We need to learn to find God-he is always there-it is our physical selves that easily get distracted. The more you seek him, the stronger his presence becomes and the more regular miracles become. Be still and know he is there.

Let me know where you've found him and what experience and wisdom manifested in the experience.

God is the awe we feel when the sun rises or sets

That moment when a life begins or ends

a silence we are not often comfortable with

we are clumsy earthly beings

God is but a whisper

on a spring day

a subtle fragrance

we imbibe

and always crave

once we know him

we are changed...
