Thoughts about God—
God was about last night Following the banalities of a Fourth of July day the night came on swiftly bringing black tortured skies flashes of lightening & deep boomed thunder—
All my mis-deeds, all my denials swept over me as I lay in bed – where have I been? Can I ever come back and love the world a sweet place in which I live & move conscious of the beauty & power of God-created things?
