It’s In Silence I Remember
"Invoked or not, God is present."
C.G. Jung
In the silence of my heart
I remember – God is present
wrapped in the whirl –
a stop sign at the corner, a plastic bag
tumbling down the street.
In all this – invoked or not,
present – in the old man
spinning up the hill
in his electric wheelchair,
in headlines and news bites
and hawthorn blossoms that herald Spring.
Invoked or not –
Mozart on the car radio, purse
calendar, books as passengers
on the seat next to me.
God is present and
that is sufficient for life.
