The Purity of His Creation

Some days I feel so distant from God
When suddenly He reveals Himself to me
A lone tree standing strong in a field
Or the humbling view from a mountain peak
The waters conversation with the shore
The irony of a desert stream
Wind whispering through the woods
A sunset burning the oceans face
When lightning splits the sky from the Heaven to the Earth
It’s the place where mortality falls away
and I’m left with the simplicity of it all
The evidence of God painted across the horizon
Stripped of any human interpretation
Absent of any distractions
Without opportunity to be Marthas,
Just the privilege to sit like Marys
Drinking in the wisdom of God’s Message
Viewing the snapshot of His beauty
Absorbing the purity of the moment
Knowing there is a God in heaven
Who reveals mystery and grace
And meets us daily on this earth
In this very place
