This is a piece from Brazil that resonated with me today and I thought I would share it with all of you.
Source/God/Universal Lifeforce
I spent so much time looking for You,
And didn’t know where You were.
I gazed at the infinite and couldn’t see You,
And thought to myself: Do You really exist?
I wasn’t pleased with the search, and went on.
I tried to find You in religions and temples
But You weren’t there either.
I searched for You through priest and pastors
And couldn’t find You either.
I felt lonely, empty and desperate; I disbelieved.
In offending, I stumbled
In stumbling, I fell
In falling, I felt weak.
Weak, I looked for help.
In help I looked for friends.
With the friends I found affection.
In affection I witnessed love being born,
With love I saw a new world.
And in this new world I decided to live.
What I got I decided to give.
Giving something, I received a lot
And in receiving, I felt happy.
Being happy, I found peace.
And being in peace I saw
That You were inside of me.
Without looking for You,
I found You at last!
