How Humble is God

God is the tree in the forests that
allows itself to die and will not defend itself in front of those
with the ax, not wanting to cause them
shame.

And God is the earth that will allow itself to
be deformed by man's tools, but He cries; yes, God cries,
but only in front of His closest ones.

And a beautiful animal is being beaten to death,
but nothing can make God break His silence
to the masses
and say,

"Stop, please stop, why are you doing this
to Me?"

How humble is God?
Kabir wept
when I
knew.

Lost ... Poem by David Wagner

Lost

Stand still

The trees ahead

And bushes beside you

Are not lost

Wherever you are is called here and you must treat it as a powerful stranger

You must ask permission to know it

And be known

The forest breathes

Listen

It answers

I have made this place around you if you leave it you may come back again saying: here no two trees are the same to raven; no two branches are the same to wren

If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you, You are surely lost

Stand still; the forest knows where you are you must let it find you
