I See The God In You....

So it's been a hot minute....prioritising time for this blog has been less straight forward than I thought it would be! I'm really enjoying the process of attempting to verbalise and express my thoughts though, and I hope y'all are enjoying reading them.


This next one is just something quick and off the top of my head, it's not meant to be some great literary piece, I just wanted to have a go at articulating my thoughts on a certain matter and share how I see things. It is most definitely not intended to offend, to pass judgement or to suggest that other people should share my view - so I hope its taken in the spirit it is intended!



I see the God in You.....

I see god in the curiosity, kindness, enjoyment and acceptance that is so often found in children and so often lost in adults

I do not see god in systems that serve to divide people or that take advantage of our biological tendency to indulge in prejudice
I see god in the man who offers his seat up to a woman and her child on the tube. I do not see god in the man who is too engrossed in his holy book to notice the pregnant woman swaying, stumbling and falling.

I see god in thought provoking lyrics, in the proud barrruuuummppp of trumpets, in the insistent twang of the bass, in the crash of the hi-hat and the playful piano melody.

I see god in strong families and friends, in accepting people for what they are and sticking together through hard times

I do not see god in systems where people profit financially from the hope and faith of others

I do not see god when religion is used as a vehicle for oppression, as an excuse for barbaric practices, as a means to keep people docile and controlled.

I see god in tears, in pain, in knowing that we have an enduring, overwhelming, indescribable ability to care.

I do not see god in judgement, hypocrisy, gossip and 'holier than thou'-ness

I see god in resilience, in hope, in people's ability to overcome

I see god in our desire to make the world a better place

I see god in freedom of expression
I do not see god in ignorance, in fear manifested as omnipotence, as misinterpretations of good intentions

I see god in the fullness of the moon, of the feeling that you are never really alone

I see god in the people who made me who I am, and the people who continue to shape me, mould me and maintain me

I see the god in you....
