Every step you take - The Police

I was listening to that somewhat creepy song (obsession at its worst)

In the shower

And thinking

That's God

Watching my every step

How could God not

When I carry a god inside of me

In my very soul

How could God not know

All there is to know

And the beauty is

That God loves you

Because of or in spite of everything

If that isn't comforting

I simply don't know what else could be

I'm assuaged by it

But I don't expect the same reaction from everybody

I accept that we all have our own paths to take

Our own realities to live

I chose to relish mine

In all it's unapologetic glory

In all it's messy quagmire

I was spewing

Like a volcano

Words

And anecdotes

Last night &

I'm not sure even any of it makes sense

And I don't want to go back and read them

Quite yet

All I know is that

I do give a genuine prayer to

Those that think of me kindly

Say a good word about me

Give me compassion

And send me love

No matter how small that action may be

I internalize their love

Let it reverberate in my entire body

And then send it back to them ten fold

not with thanks for the gift they have given me

But in thanks for the person they are

For the divinity they have shown within themselves

I send them it back tenfold

So they may experience for themselves

The beauty of those actions

No matter how small or large

I send it back tenfold

I give you that.
