Years of questioning and searching for answers, the path that I once crossed, but failed to grasp, the presence felt, yet ephemeral.
Does He exist between every heartbeat? Is He the compassion that a stranger guided me in my distress?
Does he reveal Himself in the pages of the holy books, or in the prayers the priest initiated for me in chant?
Is He the faith that shines behind doubt? The trembling uncertainty that makes a question, that seeks answers in every sigh?
Is He the hand that reaches out when tears well and all seems standstill’?
Is He our purpose in every act of all we do? Do we travel to reach Him or is He part of the journey?
No answers come to me, but the burning question remains inside me.
All religions I have read, all knowledge gained, each reveals a holy text, the same message feels in me.
Is He in the rhythm of music or the step of the dance, the rise in my pulse or the silence louder than any prayer?
Is He the aroma that I smell in a good human being?
I sought Him in the moments between breaths, looked for him in the depths of my conscience.
No answers yet, but the persistent, burning inquiry.
At last, the flame inside me shines bright.
He is within me.
