My Journey to God

What if

What if we focused
on the smallest of details?
The striped shades of pink
on the imperfectly beautiful petals
The solitary bee deep inside the rose
quietly collecting pollen
The colorless water droplets
reflecting the glowing sunshine

What if we stood still
for just a few moments?
The soft grass
caressing the bottoms of our feet
The unsuspecting delicate butterfly
landing nearby
The delicious rays of sun and gentle
breeze filling our souls
What if we noticed
these smallest of details?
What if we were
completely still?
What if we embraced
simplicity?
Is that where beauty, peace
and grace reside?

In his hand is the soul of every living thing,
and the life breath of all mankind. ~ Job 12:10
