Unseen God

Whoever called you the unseen God

was numb in the deepest sense of the word

for you are here in the glowing trees

and red lights and stop signs

and surprise sales when we’re shopping

and silent tears and heartaches

and concerts and fire alarms

and mosquito bites –

The God who appears even in mosquito bites

cannot be an unseen God;

if anything God is so everywhere

that we can lull to sleep in the ever-presence of the divine

and so while we breathe God and eat God and our hearts beat of God

and while we shake our hair with shimmering droplets of God

we somehow marvel that our God is so

unseen
