The Sky at Night
In my dreams, God says to me:
I give you another to love and cherish
because you and I are of different worlds
and our lips can never meet.
Therefore, if you desire to reach out to me,
you must reach out to him;
as you reach out,
the space between us will be no more.
The time since we last met will be a forgotten past.
I give you a majestic world to do this.
One that comes from the striving of My very own heart.
If you wish to give thanks for Creation,
create a relationship worthy of the wonderment
that permeates it.
As Creation is multifaceted,
so too is your relationship to all the others that I give you.
It is like the sky at night.
If you see only one star, you will never know where you are.
What you must do is see all the stars in the sky
and use the one star as a reference point
to navigate through the darkness of night.
When the journey is complete
the stars will fade
and daylight will deliver you
back into my arms.
The space between us will be no more.
The time since we last met will be a forgotten past.
