How humble is God?
God is the tree in the forest that allows itself to die
and will not defend itself in front of those with the ax,
not wanting to cause them shame.
And God is the Earth that will allow Herself
to be deformed by man’s tools,
but SHe cries, yes, God cries,
but only in front of Her closest ones.
And a beautiful animal is being beaten to death,
but nothing can make God break His silence to the masses and say,
“Stop, please stop, why are you doing this
to Me?”
How humble is god?

About Me
- ShiningDawn
- I am all about light and learning to appreciate the silent and deep places within where I am discovering my authentic self. I love the laughter of children playing in the yard over my fence, loamy soil between my fingers and in my fingernails, herb gardens, especially overgrown with lavender and rosemary, columbine and tea roses, unusual vegetables, dreaming in color, running into the ocean, tangerines and avocados, Delphi, snow in Greece, Celtic music and jazz, Beethovan's "Pathetique," 60's protest songs, classic punk, symphonies, Chopin, Yellowstone National Park, finding wildlife in tidal pools, libraries and bookstores, waterfalls, newborn babies, skirts instead of pants, natural fibers, messy hair, down comforters, river rafting, thunderstorms when I'm tucked in my house, crackling fires, the smell of woodsmoke in my hair, tears--for all reasons, this marvelous life brimming with Grace.
