The Life of God
by Alicia Kay Hanlen

What a joy it is to feel the cool breeze on my face, hear the song of the birds in the air, smell the freshness of the pinion and the juniper, taste the sweetness and nourishment of life in every bite of food, and see the absolute beauty of God everywhere I look! This day I embrace that joy, that beauty, that absolute Life of God, which is in and around, above and below, and sitting right at the center of my being. I connect in a way more fully, more directly, and more expansively than ever before. Everywhere I look, I see the face of God, knowing that indeed and in fact, we are all One breath, One heartbeat, One Infinite Life. I accept that this day, we are all on the same path to our ever-unfolding enlightenment. Whether we choose to celebrate this path in a church, a temple, a tent, a mosque, or in the quiet of our own home, we can choose to now see and experience our soul’s awakening with the eyes of God. I am filled with a profound sense of gratitude and blessings for this day, as I accept and know this truth for myself, and for all who may read or hear these words. With great joy, love and gratitude, I know that the spark of enlightenment has been ignited in our very hearts and souls. Thank you, thank you, thank you, dear sweet God. And so it is.
