Listening For God

Silent Truth
I
The truth is a little green turtle
making her way through the sand where she was born
by breaking her way out of the egg that protected her
running as fast as a turtle can run to the sea,
barely aware from the start there are dangerous predators
all around, searching for food in a huge world out there
alone, separated from mother, father, next of kin
And at last, she swims into the pounding surf, it comes
so naturally. Her eyes adapt, the water invigorates every
cell in her body. And now, odds ten thousand to one against
her surviving long, she makes her way out into the open ocean.
At last, life as life is meant to be.

My Best Prayer
Thank
You
God
