Who am I to know

Missing image

 

This morning
I spoke to my God
offering my thoughts
as part, of my silent prayers

Lingering
in my transgressions
remembering,  my victories
looking at the balance, of who I am

How will he
remember me?

Are we puppets
playing a role in destiny
with every thought foretold
or daring dreamers, of the unknown

The light of a brand new day
draws near, in the meadow below
spreading out the magnificent colors
of falling leaves...  in total random order

Does my God truly know
where EACH tiny leaf

will fall

 

*


Who am I to know

He holds...  My soul

    transcending religious dogma, yet revealing the essence of each and every authentic tradition, your words reach the depth of the soul which is free from the mask ... they caress the bareness and fragility of spirit, free from the veil of "I know" ...

    thank you for sharing your core,
    maa

    Introspection leads to revelation. We are all searching for answers that have puzzled many for thousands of years. If you believe, as I know you do, He does hold your soul, mine, and every living, breathing thing on Earth! When one lets go of ego, I have finally found that we are where we are supposed to be at all times, and destiny was created while still in the womb. Your wonderful question " Does my God truly know where each tiny leaf will fall?" YES! He is the God of all, creator of everything alive. Destiny planned. What makes the difference is our fate, which path we choose to take. Your words have made me ponder my beliefs even more. What a fabulous writer you have evolved to be! I like these pondering poems very much!

    I've contemplated, wondered tried to figure *it* all out. I've never gotten an answer but perhaps one day. I suppose if we keep searching we'll eventually find the answer. Wonderful piece.

    " Does my God truly know

    I bet he does Mr.

    I love this piece so much because it leaves me feeling at peace. Your word reach out to grab a person soul. Makes one stop to think, which is a very good thing.

    I think your God know everything, about everything
    Just where the tiny leaf will fall.

    Beautifully written and the picture is awesome.

    Hi Rick,

    I love it. It's introspective and searching, beautifully penned. Like Jalalbad I believe God even changes his mind and that our prayers play a huge role in that. Sometimes I start to wonder what the point of living would be if everything were predetermined, but I believe God not only made the world, but is making it as we speak. It's a process of becoming, just as each of us are.

    Good to see you writing again!

    Love and s
    ~J.

    Beautifully done! I think we all question our exsistance from time to time, there are so many millions of people in the world, how does God keep track of us all? but somehow he does and he knows our heart and knows where evry tiny leaf will fall. I love this poem, very well written...
    Peace

    Sure He knows

    where each tiny leaf is and the number of hairs you have on your head. Did you know He also changes His mind depending on how we speak with Him? Moses was one of the meekest men on earth and maybe the only man that ask God to repent-[to change mind]
    God was angry and was going to kill thousands of people in the desert
    ''And God said, ''Moses I am sorry, I repent- I won't kill the people.''
    He holds your soul but, He wants to be friends with you also. Did you ever stop to think that maybe God needed a friend, someone He could speak with, someone who will listen to him rather that beg Him for favors?
    We are not puppets unless we choose to be. Smile,

      I am always impressed by your skill in verse
      I want to believe God can be diswaded by our actions
      Christ agreed to make more wine at a wedding at his Mother`s request, even though he expressed regret for the trite use of his power.

      Wonderfull analigy to support forgiveness as a point

    Rick,
    I loved this , it was self searching and its always a good thing to search out our own hearts.
    Yes He knows every leaf that falls , every hair on your head even ! I think my favorite lines were the simplest ones :

    How will he
    remember me?

    Thats what i desire to know also.
    Greatly penned!

      Hi Victoria


      I believe your words to me
      This is an endless challange for man
      the argument of "Self Determination" and "Fate"
      In the Classics, they call it "Free Will"
      Not untill the end, will we ever know

      I thank you for reading my words

    Morning Rick,
    wonderful words to ponder
    what all is planned, is destiny, when is the path changed by man, we will never know the answers, we can only ask and listen to the path He has chosen for us, then in faith do the work
    thanks for these words to start off the day, thinking beyond myself.
    have a great day
